Subject: [PATCH 20/40] arm,kgdb: Add hook to catch an oops with debugger

Add in a low level hook to catch calls to die() in the debugger.

After the debugger is done, the standard system rules will be in play
for the original exception.

The kdb debugger wants a chance to catch these sorts of exceptions for
analysis.
