RE: symbolic debug of loadable modules with kgdb light

[Caz Yokoyama <cazyokoyama at gmail dot com>]

I have no objection regarding generic way of sending a BREAK. However, I had
two reasons to introduce linux-kgdb.
1) Someone suggested me the same several months ago. Nobody implemented.
2) I need some way to specify debugging linux kernel by using kgdb for
symbolic debug of loadable modules.

I think we need a generic way to send a BREAK
(whatever that may mean) to the target from the
command line.  Like maybe a "BREAK" command.
