SubjectRe: [RESEND] x86/bus_lock: Don't assume the init value of DEBUGCTLMSR.BUS_LOCK_DETECT to be zero

Makes sense.

Just curious: in what circumstances does the BIOS/firmware set
DEBUGCTLMSR_BUS_LOCK_DETECT? Does it use it, or does it enable it for some
spurious reason, without really using the feature? (Assuming you are aware
of instances where this happened - or was this simply a hypothetical?)

Thanks,

Ingo
