    tools/dombuilder: Initialise vcpu debug registers correctly
    
    In particular, initialising %dr6 with the value 0 is buggy, because on
    hardware supporting Transactional Memory, it will cause the sticky RTM bit 
to
    be asserted, even though a debug exception from a transaction hasn't 
actually
    been observed.
