Hi Linus

I think you are likely to conclude from the following that the issue
fixed in this PR should have been detected before it ever reached you.
If that is your conclusion then I agree (and is one of the reasons
I chose to address it with a direct revert).

Sorry!

I have already added additional architectures to my pre-release tests
so this mistake is now (much) more likely to be caught in future.

The following changes since commit dc2c733e65848b1df8d55c83eea79fc4a868c800:

kgdb fixes for 5.6-rc1

One of the simplifications added for 5.6-rc1 has caused build

This pull request fixes it with a direct revert.
