It's quite a lot of work. What about Amit's kgdb? It's a *lot* cleaner. It does not have all the features (kgdb-eth is not yet ready for prime time). Would you accept that? Oh and it is already split into arch-dependend and arch-independend parts, plus it has cleanly separated i/o methods... Pavel -- When do you have a heart between your knees?
