I think it is clearly the case that the design is wrong. The existance of kgdb shows how putting the complex logic remotely on another system is not only a lot cleaner and simpler but can also provide more functionality and higher reliability.
The presence of user mode linux and Xen also provide solutions to the usual concern about needing two systems, as will future hardware features.
