Subject: inconsistent order of notify_die and kgdb/debugger between powerpc
 and x86

I see in x86, the die chain notifiers are called first
before going to debugger but in powerpc its the
other way round.
Any reason for this inconsistency?
Because, I wanted to take some action before falling
to debugger in powerpc. Is there any way to do this?

Thanks,
Fredrick
