Since you're trying to use this stuff, I've just submitted a new version
of the patchset:

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2010-June/017680.html

Please see if the issue occurs with the new code. Unfortunately, I've not
had a chance to test it because the ptrace interface has changed and I
don't have a GDB that can `talk the talk'.

Thanks,

Will
