    x86/domain: 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.
    
    Introduce arch_vcpu_regs_init() to set various architectural defaults, and
    reuse this in the hvm_vcpu_reset_state() path.
    
    Architecturally, %edx's init state contains the processors model 
information,
    and 0xf looks to be a remnant of the old Intel processors.  We clearly have 
no
    software which cares, seeing as it is wrong for the last decade's worth of
    Intel hardware and for all other vendors, so lets use the value 0 for
    simplicity.

    x86/domain: Fix build with GCC 4.3.x
    
    GCC 4.3.x can't initialise the user_regs structure like this.
