Subject: [PATCH] x86: make DR6_RESERVED/DR_CONTROL_RESERVED unsigned long

DR6_RESERVED and DR_CONTROL_RESERVED are used to clear the unwanted
bits in the "unsigned long" data, but "ulong &= ~int" also clears the
upper bits that are not specified in mask.

This is actually fine, dr6[32:63] are reserved, but this is not clear
so it would be better to make them "unsigned long" to cleanup the code.

However, depending on sizeof(long), DR6_RESERVED should be either
0xFFFF0FF0 or 0xFFFFFFFF_FFFF0FF0, so this patch redefines them as
(~ 32_bit_mask UL) to avoid ifdef's.
