Description

MFC r258135: x86: Allow users to change PSL_RF via ptrace(PT_SETREGS...)

Debuggers may need to change PSL_RF. Note that tf_eflags is already stored
in the signal context during signal handling and PSL_RF previously could
be modified via sigreturn, so this change should not provide any new
ability to userspace.
