Initialize DR6 by writing its architectural reset value to avoid
incorrectly zeroing DR6 to clear DR6.BLD at boot time, which leads
to a false bus lock detected warning.
The Intel SDM says:
1) Certain debug exceptions may clear bits 0-3 of DR6.
2) BLD induced #DB clears DR6.BLD and any other debug exception
doesn't modify DR6.BLD.
3) RTM induced #DB clears DR6.RTM and any other debug exception
sets DR6.RTM.
To avoid confusion in identifying debug exceptions, debug handlers
should set DR6.BLD and DR6.RTM, and clear other DR6 bits before
returning.
The DR6 architectural reset value 0xFFFF0FF0, already defined as
macro DR6_RESERVED, satisfies these requirements, so just use it to
reinitialize DR6 whenever needed.
Since clear_all_debug_regs() no longer zeros all debug registers,
rename it to initialize_debug_regs() to better reflect its current
behavior.
Since debug_read_clear_dr6() no longer clears DR6, rename it to
debug_read_reset_dr6() to better reflect its current behavior.
