From 9731191f75a54c4fa17e9b9b88f3144cf4b47836 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jason Wessel Date: Thu, 20 May 2010 21:04:30 -0500 Subject: kgdboc: Add ekgdboc for early use of the kernel debugger The ekgdboc= differs from kgdboc= in that you can begin debuggin as soon as the exceptions are setup and the kgdb I/O driver is available, instead of waiting until the tty subsystem is available.
