In order to allow other exceptions than #DB to disable breakpoints,
provide a common helper.

%dr7 has an architecturally stuck bit in it.

You want *dr7 != 0x400 to avoid writing 0 unconditionally.

Also, API wise, wouldn't it be nicer to write "dr7 = local_db_save()"
rather than having a void function returning a single long via pointer?

Do we have to have that bit set when writing it? Otherwise I might
actually prefer masking it out.

Probably.. I started with local_irq_save() and .. well, n/m. I'll change
it ;-)

Not currently.  I guess it depends on how likely %dr7 is to gain an
inverted polarity bit like %dr6 did.

I'm an idiot, we write a plain 9..

Why xor? This seems extra confusing.

I'll do the normal mask thing ..
