Subject: [GIT PULL]  kgdb regression fixes for 2.6.33

Linus, please pull the kgdb git tree fixes for 2.6.33-rc5

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

Summary:
  
  * Fix the kgdb regression in functionality caused by the new hw
    breakpoint API changes in 2.6.33.

This leaves us with some cleanup in 2.6.34, but all the previous
functionality works again.  In fact you can use hw breakpoints in user
space and the kernel at the same time now that the API is shared,
which is something that never previously worked.

Thanks,
Jason.
