[PATCH] CONFIG_PREEMPT fix of do_debug()
If CONFIG_PREEMPT is enabled, and the kernel is preempted just before do_debug() has a chance to save the debug register values, DR6 could be read from the wrong CPU. It is exactly the same problem as reading %cr2 in the page fault handler. Same fix: make the handler a interrupt gate, and enable interrupts only once safe.
