From 40f9249a73f6c251adea492b1c3d19d39e2a9bda Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "K.Prasad" Date: Thu, 28 Jan 2010 16:44:01 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] x86/debug: Clear reserved bits of DR6 in do_debug() Clear the reserved bits from the stored copy of debug status register (DR6). This will help easy bitwise operations such as quick testing of a debug event origin.
