Subject: [x86] only print out DR registers if they are not power-on defaults.
Date: Tue, 18 Jun 2013 00:11:32 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130618041132.GA23492@redhat.com> (raw)

The DR registers are rarely useful when decoding oopses.
With screen real estate during oopses at a premium, we can save two lines
by only printing out these registers when they are set to something other
than they power-on state.
