[PATCH v5 27/34] x86/fred: allow single-step trap and NMI when starting a new thread

[Xin Li]

From: "H. Peter Anvin (Intel)" <hpa@xxxxxxxxx>

Allow single-step trap and NMI when starting a new thread, thus once
the new thread returns to ring3, single-step trap and NMI are both
enabled immediately.

High-order 48 bits above the lowest 16 bit CS are discarded by the
legacy IRET instruction, thus can be set unconditionally, even when
FRED is not enabled.
