To make it more clear that the flag means DRn (except DR7) need to be
reloaded before vm entry.

My vote would be for KVM_DEBUGREG_DIRTY  Any bit that is set switch_db_regs
triggers a reload, whereas I would expect a RELOAD flag to be set _every_
time a load is needed and thus be the only bit that's checked


That's what I intended to do with this series, apparently I failed it. :(

This is the path that I think would really benefit from DIRTY, it took me
several reads to catch that kvm_update_dr0123() will set RELOAD.
