i think the proper way would be to extend the kgdb-over-console (kgdboc)
concept and make it easy to utilize the existing netconsole code via
KGDB. This brings nice synergy: netconsole is utilized by other debug
infrastructure as well so anything that supports netconsole would
automatically support KGDB as well. I dont really like the old kgdboe
approach from a design POV as it created a parallel infrastructure for
special-purpose kgdb IO.
likewise, the firewire debugging code could/should be extended to create
a bidirectional console as well - that has other benefits as well. (we'd
get printks over firewire - instead of the special-purpose firescope
utility)
and the early console drivers could be reused to do early debugging via
KGDB as well.
Ingo
