I would like to get acks from the respective parties to fix these reported regressions against kgdb in 2.6.33.
The constraints for the hw breakpoint API is possibly was definitely a dicey issue, but is hopefully resolved in this series. Even without the constraints patch it is possible to use hw breakpoints in the kernel debugger in the same manner that has existed since 2.6.26 (only kgdb gets to use hw breakpoints).
The regression are: * hw breakpoints no longer work on x86 after the perf API merge * softlockup watchdog can reboot the system while using the kernel debugger *** This has been in linux-next for several months waiting for acks
Dropped from the series was the clocksource patch, it was resolved separately.
I collected all the patches which could go into the tip branch or the kgdb for_linus branch at the following location depending on the status of the discussion that ensues.

Thanks, Jason.
