[Patch 4/6] Modify process and processor handling code to recognise hardware debug registers

[K.Prasad]

Modify process handling code to recognise hardware debug registers during copy
and flush operations. Introduce a new TIF_DEBUG task flag to indicate a
process's use of debug register. Load the debug register values into a
new CPU during initialisation.
