AK: 

Can't remember how often I reject similar patches. They usually point
to someone implementing backtraces wrong.

Anyways, the label seems to be completely unused in the current kgdb
code the change can just go completely:

% grep -r switch_to_begin *
include/asm-x86/system.h:       asm volatile(".globl __switch_to_begin\n\t"                     \
include/asm-x86/system.h:            "__switch_to_begin:\n\t"
