Brian,

In DEBUG_LOAD_IMAGE_METHOD_SOFT_INT3 mode, is there any difference in behavior 
if DR7 is always restored without checking state of BIT10?

Thanks,

Mike

Subject: [edk2] [PATCH v2] PeCoffExtraActionLibDebug: Restore debug registers 
in PeCoffExtraActionLibDebug

PeCoffExtraActionLibDebug uses the debug registers to pass module load
information to the DebugAgent, then restores the old register values.
However, it was missing code to restore Dr7 in the
DEBUG_LOAD_IMAGE_METHOD_SOFT_INT3 case.  This broke hardware
breakpoints and watchpoints.  It could also lose modifications the
debugger made to Cr4.

Restore the Dr7 and Cr4 values correctly in the
DEBUG_LOAD_IMAGE_METHOD_SOFT_INT3 case, as well as the
DEBUG_LOAD_IMAGE_METHOD_IO_HW_BREAKPOINT case.

This fix has been built with OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgIa32X64.dsc, using the GCC48 
toolchain under Ubuntu.  It has been tested (32- and 64-bit mode) using 
qemu with tcg and a proprietary DebugAgentLib.  We've also used it on 
hardware in a proprietary BIOS with various Intel CPUs, using the 
SourceLevelDebugPkg DebugAgentLib (an older version).  It's been built 
successfully with the WINDDK compilers, but I'm not really in a position 
to build with MSVC.

A note on Dr7 bit 10:  the Intel SDM says that this bit always reads as 
1, and that's the behavior I see on hardware.  However, on simulators 
(including qemu in tcg mode) it often reads as 0.  So I just ignore it 
in the patch below when determining if Dr7 needs to be restored.

Changes in v2:
- Generalized comment wording
- Properly restore Cr4 as well

Thanks,
Brian
