KVM: clarify the idea of kvm_dirty_regs

This patch clarifies that kvm_dirty_regs are just a hint to the kernel and
that the kernel might just ignore some flags and sync the values (like done for
acrs and gprs now).

@ -2861,6 +2861,10 @@ kvm_valid_regs for specific bits. These bits are architecture specific
and usually define the validity of a groups of registers. (e.g. one bit
for general purpose registers)
Please note that the kernel is allowed to use the kvm_run structure as the
primary storage for certain register types. Therefore, the kernel may use the
values in kvm_run even if the corresponding bit in kvm_dirty_regs is not set.
