Hi Jason,

This HEAD commit in kgdb-next makes kgdb boot time tests freeze.
The kernel is tested inside kvm with the attached config.

3751d3e85cf693e10e2c47c03c8caa65e171099b is the first bad commit

    x86,kgdb: Fix DEBUG_RODATA limitation using text_poke()

    There has long been a limitation using software breakpoints with a
    kernel compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA going back to 2.6.26. For
    this particular patch, it will apply cleanly and has been tested all
    the way back to 2.6.36.

    The kprobes code uses the text_poke() function which accommodates
    writing a breakpoint into a read-only page.  The x86 kgdb code can
    solve the problem similarly by overriding the default breakpoint
    set/remove routines and using text_poke() directly.

    The x86 kgdb code will first attempt to use the traditional
    probe_kernel_write(), and next try using a the text_poke() function.
    The break point install method is tracked such that the correct break
    point removal routine will get called later on.
