[patch 1/4] Fix hw watchpoints: [x86*] repeated rwatch output


Hi,

Intel Developer's Manual Volume 3B: System Programming Guide:
	"debug handlers should clear the [DR6] register before returning to
	the interrupted task"

This currently does not happen for x86* targets on the watchpoint trigger so:
* "watch" (read/write): the referenced value is read on each SIGTRAP to
  silently find out it did not change.
* "rwatch" (read access): The hit is falsely duplicated on each SIGTRAP
  unrelated of its reason.

This problem does not affect all the targets - ppc gets the trigger reported
through `struct siginfo' from linux_nat_get_siginfo which needs no reset.

On x86* there could also be some warnings/errors if the DR_STATUS bit triggers
with no reason but the bits are no silently cleared.


Thanks,
Jan
