If the host sets hardware breakpoints to debug the guest, and a task-switch occurs in the guest, the architectural DR7 will not be updated. The effective DR7 would be updated instead. This fix uses the standard DR setting mechanism instead of the one that was previously used. As a bonus, the update of DR7 will now be effective for AMD as well.
