So is the summary here that we cannot just document the actual
interface API in the incude/linux/kgdb.h?

The problem I had here was pretty simple in that not all of the
functions in the API are used by all the archs.  It seemed pretty
reasonable at the time to just document everything in the .h file
because it was more for the folks who wanted to add kgdb support to an
arch and of little to no use to end users of kgdb.

The mainline only has a small chunk of the docs right now because not
all of kgdb is merged.  I was just hoping it was real easy to generate
some reasonable looking docs.  The docs for all the kgdb code that
exists (in mainline and not in mainline) can be viewed here as an
example.
