Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Linux Kernel Debugger GDB extensions

ST Microelectronics provides a set of debugging tools, customised to attach
and debug a running (or crashed) linux kernel based on GDB. As part of working
towards providing this functionality upstream, a number of commands can be
written using the new CONFIG_GDB_SCRIPTS facilities.

Here, as a means to introducing the work which is ongoing, are two initial
(simple) commands which allow the user to identify the kernel version and
command line used to boot.

 lx-cmdline  Report the Linux Commandline used in the current kernel.
 lx-version  Report the Linux Version of the current kernel.

Based on the existing LKD project, follow up work will aim to provide similar
facilities for:
	/proc/iomem
	/proc/ioports
	/proc/mounts
	/proc/interrupts
	/proc/meminfo

The larger scale project also aims to provide thread integration into GDB,
and userspace frame walking where possible.
