Subject: [git pull] kgdb 2.6.27-rc7 fixes 

Linus, please pull the kgdb git tree fixes for 2.6.27-rc7

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jwessel/linux-2.6-kgdb.git for_linus

Summary: 

Several regressions have been fixed for which there was no automated test.
 - Fix regression in flushing data/instruction cache on boundaries
 - User space single stepping should be ignored by kgdb
 - x86_64 had the BX and DX registers reversed in gdb
 - x86_64 eflags, CS, SS, registers were not properly passed to gdb
 - tty_io.c has one function repaired which is only used kgdboc
   to hook up to the tty system.  The input args were not properly
   checked.  Test case was:
     "echo ffff0 > /sys/module/kgdboc/parameters/kgdboc"
   

Short log follows:
