Subject: [PATCH] Fix broken mmiotrace due to dr6 by reference change

Commit 62edab9056a6cf0c9207339c8892c923a5217e45 (from June 2009 but merged
in 2.6.33) changes notify_die to pass dr6 by reference.

However, it forgets to fix the check for DR_STEP in kmmio.c, breaking
mmiotrace. It also passes a wrong value to the post handler.

This simple fix makes mmiotrace work again.

Please send to Linus for inclusion in 2.6.33
