FYI this is already done in the head branch for kgdb which is going into
the -mm tree.  You will see the new patch set in the 2.6.25-rcX series.

There is now a single x86-lite.patch which contains a number of other
modifications to the core-lite.patch to make use of
probe_kernel_address() and a new function probe_kernel_write().  Also
the die hooks for the "no context" memory faults were removed.

Jason.
