+ help
+ If you say Y here, it will be possible to remotely debug the
+ kernel using gdb. It is recommended but not required, that
+ you also turn on the kernel config option
+ CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER to aid in producing more reliable stack
+ backtraces in the external debugger. Documentation of
+ kernel debugger is available at http://kgdb.sourceforge.net
+ as well as in DocBook form in Documentation/DocBook/. If
+ unsure, say N.

+ This is a kgdb I/O module specifically designed to test

+ as well as regression testing the kgdb internals.
