I attempted doing this when I was trying to code a netpoll independent 
ethernet interface. I couldn't do without it. I needed one hook to kgdb in 
init to mark completion of smp_init. If an interface was ready, that hook 
called breakpoint. A similar hook was placed in interface initialization 
code, it called breakpoint, if kgdb core was ready on account of smp_init 
completion.
