Subject: [PATCH] KVM: fix documentation for KVM_SET_SIGNAL_MASK
The signal mask passed to KVM_SET_SIGNAL_MASK needs to be ABI-compatible
with sigprocmask, so that functions operating on sigset_t can be used
with it. Referring to the signal mask as an array of bytes is incorrect
on big endian systems, fix it.

But that doesn't match the definition in kvm.h. If someone sets
kvm_signal_mask::sigset[3], they'll get different answers if they look
at the documentation or the code.
So it needs to be documented in English, not C.
(and not whitespace-damaged, either)
