Subject[PATCH 1/6][XEN][x86] add macro for debugreg
Hi,

The following patch add 2 macros to set and get debugreg on x86.
This is useful for Xen because it will need only to redefine each macro
to a hypervisor call.

I can regenerate a patch keeping loaddebug if you folks seems that is
necessary or better.

ignore my previous mail, really sorry for the noise.

Please apply, or comments.
