Thanks for your comments Eric.
The summary of the clean up is as follows because some of the kdb core
had to be touched in order to properly remove this.

Below is the new version of the basic kernel core kdb modifications.
If you have further comments, please let me know. I would also be
happy to add an ack if you approve of the new patch.
Thanks,
Jason.

Subject: [PATCH] kdb: core for kgdb back end (2 of 2)
This patch contains the hooks and instrumentation into kernel which
live outside the kernel/debug directory, which the kdb core
will call to run commands like lsmod, dmesg, bt etc...
