Thanks for this new version, however I'm looking forward to see
kdb maintained also for the x86_64 architecture. Currently I have 
got as far as forward-porting it to a level where it "works" except 
for one annoying issue where setjmp/longjmp looks to be broken:

kdb: Debugger re-entered on cpu 0, new reason = 5
     Attempting to abort command and recover

An inescapable loop. 

Kernel configured with CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y,
gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-13).
