Real-Time Preemption: BUG initializing kgdb

[kus Kusche Klaus]

I tried to merge the kgdb and the rt patches (not too difficult, only
three rejects, and they all look trivial). The resulting kernel
compiles, boots, and works fine.

However, kgdb initialization generates a BUG, and kgdb does not work at
all (gdb on the host is unable to connect to the target, and Alt-SysRq-g
has no effect).

The bug:

This is with RT-V0.7.46-02 and the kgdb patchset from -rc3-mm3.

Any hints or suggestions?
