virtio wants to read bitwise types from userspace using get_user.  At the
moment this triggers sparse errors, since the value is passed through an
integer.

Fix that up using __force.

I'm not sure who's going to merge this series. In the meantime, I
cherry-picked the arm64 patch. Thanks.
I think there was a pull request for the whole series that went to Arnd, so
I don't think we need to do anything on the arm64 side.
OK. I dropped the patch.
