Notes:
    Over the years Jason has become increasingly hard to get hold off
    and I think he must now be regarded as inactive.
    
    Patches in kgdb-next (mine as it happens) have been there for over a
    year without a corresponding pull request and a couple of architecture
    specific kgdb fixes have ended up missing a release cycle (or two) as
    the architecture maintainer waits for an Acked-by from Jason.
    
    In the past I've had to rely on Andrew M. to land my own changes to
    kgdb and in the v4.14 cycle you'll find my Acked-by on b8347c219649
    ("x86/debug: Handle warnings before the notifier chain, to fix KGDB
    crash"). That I was sharing surrogate acks convinced me we need a
    change here and I've offered Jason help via private e-mail without
    reply.
    
    So, I really would prefer it it if this patch listed me as a
    co-maintainer or, failing that, as least had Jason's blessing... but
    it doesn't. I certainly suggest this patch takes a long time in
    review, and if it doesn't attract Jason's attention then I can only
    reiterate what is says in the commit log: Thanks Jason!
