I looked at NtGetContextThread and I was wary of adding a server call to
save_context.

Looking at the i386 version, it seems that NtGetContextThread caches the
debug registers
so that save_context doesn't need to do a server call. I can add something
similar for
x86_64, if there isn't a reason not to.
