Subject[PATCH v2] x86: make DR*_RESERVED unsigned long
DR6_RESERVED and DR_CONTROL_RESERVED are used to clear the set
bits in the "unsigned long" data, make them long to ensure that
"&~" doesn't clear the upper bits.

This is only cleanup, the usage of ~DR*_RESERVED is safe but
doesn't look clean and the pattern is error prone.

- do_debug:

dr6 &= ~DR6_RESERVED;

this also wrongly clears 32-63 bits. Fortunately these
bits are reserved and must be zero.

- ptrace_write_dr7:

data &= ~DR_CONTROL_RESERVED;

on __i386__ this mixes long/int but sizeof should be the
same.
