I did the commenting in the cited code. I tried again in dreg_handler() 
and that shows I can set Dr6 and Dr1 but none of the others (which makes 
sense I guess).

Here's what I tested in patch form to avoid ambiguity:

commit f54d113590d1de43ec3ef6ff78369b9dc9d1bdb6

    HACK ntdll:exception: Comment out most tests to avoid a crash.
    
    * Uncommenting any of the C++ lines causes the
      KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE crash.
    * All if (0) except one just skip irrelevant tests.
    * The second dreg_handler test produces the same crashes. Ignore it
      until the first one is fixed / diagnosed.
