I've merged all 3 into the kgdb-light tree to ease testing. I think we should also try to do some self-tests, so that when one boots a bzImage with the self-tests activated it can be said that all the basic functionality works. Simulated via some loopback method, from within the kernel - not via a real serial line - but it should have the capability to do real single-stepping and inject real hw breakpoints and test that they work. What do you think? Ingo
