Subject: [GIT PULL] kgdb 2.6.33

Linus, please pull the kgdb git tree for 2.6.33

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

Summary: 

The patches in this series have been in linux-next and thoroughly
tested over the last two kernel cycles.  There are no new features
here, everything is just a fix against a problem found in the use of
kgdb.

The perf event API merge has caused kgdb's HW breakpoint support to
cease working.  This makes the kgdb test suite fail and hang the
kernel in most cases (you would see this with a allyesconfig).  I have
an experimental patch which I will work with the perf event
maintainers to repair the kgdb hw breakpoint support during the
2.6.33 cycle.

Thanks,
Jason.
