This looks ugly to me. I'd rather prefer to have a straight struct 
with elements psr...fr[], and cast the pointer to char* when needed. 
KVM_CONTEXT_SIZE can be used as parameter to kzalloc() on allocation, 
it's too large to be on stack anyway.

A matter of taste, but I'd prefer unsigned long mask, and
#define MASK_BIT_FOR_PURPUSE over bitfields. This structure could be 
much smaller that way.

This looks like it does'nt just have guest register content in it. It 
seems to me preferable to have another ioctl different from 
KVM_GET_REGS/KVM_SET_REGS to read and set the rest of the content and 
seperate it from struct kvm_regs.
