kgdb: support for ARCH=arm

This patch adds the ARCH=arm specific a kgdb backend, originally
written by Deepak Saxena <dsaxena@plexity.net> and George Davis
<gdavis@mvista.com>.  Geoff Levand <geoffrey.levand@am.sony.com>,
Nicolas Pitre, Manish Lachwani, and Jason Wessel have contributed
various fixups here as well.

The KGDB patch makes one change to the core ARM architecture such that
the traps are initialized early for use with the debugger or other
subsystems.

[ mingo@elte.hu: small cleanups. ]
[ ben-linux@fluff.org: fixed early_trap_init ]

+ * GDB assumes that we're a user process being debugged, so
+ * it will send us an SWI command to write into memory as the
+ * debug trap. When an SWI occurs, the next instruction addr is
+ * placed into R14_svc before jumping to the vector trap.
+ * This doesn't work for kernel debugging as we are already in SVC
+ * we would loose the kernel's LR, which is a bad thing. This
+ * is  bad thing.
+ *
+ * By doing this as an undefined instruction trap, we force a mode
+ * switch from SVC to UND mode, allowing us to save full kernel state.
+ *
+ * We also define a KGDB_COMPILED_BREAK which can be used to compile
+ * in breakpoints. This is important for things like sysrq-G and for
+ * the initial breakpoint from trap_init().
+ *
+ * Note to ARM HW designers: Add real trap support like SH && PPC to
+ * make our lives much much simpler. :)
