Attempt to make break-to-debugger and alternative break-to-debugger more
accessible:
(1) Always compile in support for breaking into the debugger if options
KDB is present in the kernel.
(2) Disable both by default, but allow them to be enabled via tunables
and sysctls debug.kdb.break_to_debugger and
debug.kdb.alt_break_to_debugger.
(3) options BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER and options ALT_BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER continue
to behave as before -- only now instead of compiling in
break-to-debugger support, they change the default values of the
above sysctls to enable those features by default. Current kernel
configurations should, therefore, continue to behave as expected.
(4) Migrate alternative break-to-debugger state machine logic out of
individual device drivers into centralised KDB code. This has a
number of upsides, but also one downside: it's now tricky to release
sio spin locks when entering the debugger, so we don't. However,
similar logic does not exist in other device drivers, including uart.
(5) dcons requires some special handling; unlike other console types, it
allows overriding KDB's own debugger selection, so we need a new
interface to KDB to allow that to work.
GENERIC kernels in -CURRENT will now support break-to-debugger as long as
appropriate boot/run-time options are set, which should improve the
debuggability of BETA kernels significantly.
