    x86/boot: Initialise the 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.
    
    Move X86_DR6_DEFAULT into x86-defns.h along with the other architectural
    register constants, and introduce a new X86_DR7_DEFAULT.  Use the existing
    write_debugreg() helper, rather than opencoded inline assembly.
