Note: I am submitting this now just to let you know this is possible. As you can see, this is not for v4.5, so I will rebase the patches later if necessary. Although I understand what the following patch tries to do, I do not think we should do the change right now: using bitmap APIs can make the code slower, so we should not make that change until it becomes really necessary. [PATCH v2] kvm: Make vcpu->requests as 64 bit bitmap http://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg125726.html This patch set tries to give you some time to find a better solution: for arch-specific flags like KVM_REQ_HV_*, or for those rarely set, we may better use a separate variable than vcpu->requests.
