Subject[ANNOUNCE] mdb: Merkey's Linux Kernel Debugger 2.6.27-rc4 released
ChangesLog:

added MAGIC_SYSRQ support. removed notify_die handler and changes
to drivers/char/keyboard.c. save or restrive pt_regs for cases where
panic is called from non-exception context. handled cases
where the per_cpu registers and context are not valid/saved
when panic is called from non-exception contexts.

removed more checkpatch.pl messages. lots more messages to still
work on. volatiles left in the code due to the previously stated
(and still present) severe breakage of the GNU compiler with SMP
shared data. most of the barrier() functions are just plain broken
and do not result in proper compiler behavior in this tree. it
helps having a working debugger to actually see these compiler problems.
