Subject: [PATCH] x86: Extend #DF debugging aid to 64-bit

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@...e.de>

It is sometimes very helpful to be able to pinpoint the location which
causes a double fault before it turns into a triple fault and the
machine reboots. We have this for 32-bit already so extend it to 64-bit.
On 64-bit we get the register snapshot at #DF time and not from the
first exception which actually causes the #DF. It should be close
enough, though.
