Well, the first 12 bits are reset, so bit 12 will get preserved... I
guess it's unusual to have a duplicated enum value like that but
BIO_RESET_BITS is just a marker, not a real bit.

Wouldn't a BIO_RESET_MASK be better than BIO_RESET_BITS?

Ehh... Might be good to have BIO_RESET_MASK too, but we really want
BIO_RESET_BITS with the flags as that makes it explicit which flags get
cleared and which don't. At first I was going to add BIO_RESET_MASK too,
but it just seemed to get ugly and verbose and didn't fit nicely
anywhere, so I'm dithering and not doing anything with it for now.
