Subject: [PATCH 10/13] RFC ONLY - mips,kgdb: kdb low level trap catch and stack trace

This is a RFC patch.  The work to possibly merge kdb and kgdb is being
evaluated and this patch is considered only a proof of concept or
prototype.

The only way the debugger can handle a trap in inside rcu_lock,
notify_die, or atomic_notifier_call_chain without a recursive fault is
to have a low level "first opportunity handler" do_trap_or_bp() handler.

Generally this will be something the vast majority of folks will not
need, but for those who need it, it is added as a kernel .config
option called KGDB_LOW_LEVEL_TRAP.

Also added was a die notification for oops such that kdb can catch an
oops for analysis.

There appeared no obvious way to pass the struct pt_regs from the
original exception back to the stack back tracer, so a special case was
added to show_stack() for when kdb is active because you generally
desire to generally look at the back trace of the original exception.
