Switch 'requests' to be explicitly 64-bit and update BUILD_BUG_ON check to
use the size of "requests" instead of the hard-coded '32'.

That gives us a bit more room again for arch-specific requests as we
already ran out of space for x86 due to the hard-coded check.

The only exception here is ARM32 as it is still 32-bits.

What do you mean?

I think we're just going to slow down kvm_request_pending() on 32 bit
architectures.

Now that the base is easily moveable, we could also lower it to 4 and
get few more arch flags.

Bumping requests to 64 bits is probably inevitable and this patch looks
good.

In v4, you have proposed the bitmap-array solution that would easily
allow more than 64 requests -- was the problem that possible
implementations of kvm_request_pending were not as efficient for current
amount of requests?

Thanks.
