[Patch 06/11] Use virtual debug registers in process/threadhandling code

[prasad]

From: Alan Stern <stern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch enables the use of abstract/virtual debug registers in
process-handling routines.

[K.Prasad: Split-out from the bigger patch and minor changes following
           re-basing]
