Using __set_bit() to set a bit in an integer is not a good idea, since
the function expects an unsigned long as argument, which can be 64bit wide.
Coverity reports this problem as
High:Out-of-bounds access(INCOMPATIBLE_CAST)
CWE119: Out-of-bounds access to a scalar
Pointer "&vcpu->arch.regs_avail" points to an object whose effective
type is "unsigned int" (32 bits, unsigned) but is dereferenced as a
wider "unsigned long" (64 bits, unsigned). This may lead to memory
corruption.
/home/heyuan.shy/git-repo/linux/arch/x86/kvm/kvm_cache_regs.h:
kvm_register_is_available
Just use BIT instead.
