From 62edab9056a6cf0c9207339c8892c923a5217e45 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "K.Prasad" Date: Mon, 1 Jun 2009 23:47:06 +0530 Subject: hw-breakpoints: reset bits in dr6 after the corresponding exception is handled This patch resets the bit in dr6 after the corresponding exception is handled in code, so that we keep a clean track of the current virtual debug status register.
