Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/2] RCU stall handler for kernel debugger

The purpose of this short series is to allow the kernel debugger to
reset the rcu stall timer when restarting the normal kernel execution
so as to prevent the rcu stall timer from issuing NMIs to print stack
traces that should be ignored because the kernel went away for a
while.
