    There is no 2.6 version of kgdb currently. The 2.4 version also has some
    problems that makes it better to not use it at all.

    My plan was to do a fresh port from the code in -mm* and get rid of
    many of the ugly hacks in 2.4. Doing this properly requires adding
    dwarf2 annotation to entry.S and other assembly files. This would
    allow to get rid of the "interrupt threads" hack in 2.4 because gdb
    could directly backtrace through exception/interrupts.
