2013-05-13x86: Extend #DF debugging aid to 64-bitBorislav Petkov
It is sometimes very helpful to be able to pinpoint the location which causes a double fault before it turns into a triple fault and the machine reboots. We have this for 32-bit already so extend it to 64-bit. On 64-bit we get the register snapshot at #DF time and not from the first exception which actually causes the #DF. It should be close enough, though.
