+## Open Issues
+
+[[!tag open_issue_gnumach]]
+
+ * Continuing on [[!message-id "87iokondoc.fsf@schwinge.name"]], do we need to
+ sanitize some of the values? Is user space allowed to set DR7's GD flag as
+ well as DR7's reserved flags, or should these flags be masked out?
+ Anything else?
+
+ * If [[KDB|debugging]] is using hardware watchpoints, those set by user space
+ applications will be ignored. This is because KDB and the user-space
+ application are competing for the x86 debug registers, and KDB wins.
