Please don't do it like this - you made the patch now depend on the
ugliest code in the universe, namely that horribly crappy kgdb-ga sh*t
("Don't hold back, Linus, tell us how you really feel").

The 16-bit stack code may not be the prettiest either, but it doesn't hold
a candle to the asm-crap that is entry.S after kgdb-ga.

"resume_kernelX"? What crud.
