It finally dawned on me why all the other events use two "flags", i.e. an actual
flags entry of KVM_VCPUEVENT_VALID_* and then the value itself.  Userspace needs
to be able to _clear_ the request, not just set the request.  So this needs to
follow the existing pattern of adding a VALID flag and then yet another field to
specify whether or not a triple fault is pending.
