DDB already provides a 'hwatch' interface to work with the debug registers 
that is much easier to use than accessing drX directly.  That said, it 
doesn't appear that your patch does anything for drX.  While it might be 
slightly useful to read crX in DDB, I'm not sure how writing to them can 
really be useful.
