Frederic Weisbecker 326264a024 hw-breakpoint: Keep track of dr7 local enable bits
When the user enables breakpoints through dr7, he can choose
between "local" or "global" enable bits but given how linux is
implemented, both have the same effect.

That said we don't keep track how the user enabled the breakpoints
so when the user requests the dr7 value, we only translate the
"enabled" status using the global enabled bits. It means that if
the user enabled a breakpoint using the local enabled bit, reading
back dr7 will set the global bit and clear the local one.

Apps like Wine expect a full dr7 POKEUSER/PEEKUSER match for emulated
softwares that implement old reverse engineering protection schemes.

We fix that by keeping track of the whole dr7 value given by the user
in the thread structure to drop this bug. We'll think about
something more proper later.

This fixes a 2.6.32 - 2.6.33-x ptrace regression.
