Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] x86/traps: Initialize DR7 by writing its architectural reset value

Initialize DR7 by writing its architectural reset value to ensure
compliance with the specification.

Reviewed-by: H. Peter Anvin (Intel) <hpa@...or.com>
Signed-off-by: Xin Li (Intel) <xin@...or.com>
---

Changes in v2:
*) Use debug register index 7 rather than DR_CONTROL (PeterZ and Sean).
*) Use DR7_FIXED_1 as the architectural reset value of DR7 (Sean).
