Looks like that was the key. Thanks for pointing me at this, George.
Here the updated patch:
------snip-------
This cleans up the early entry of kgdb. It introduces early_trap_init
for x86-64, reloads the idt register also in the 32-bit variant, removes
the now unneeded EXCEPTION_STACK_READY construction, and matures the
init-state machine of kgdb.
