I've not used the current implementation in the tree so can't compare.
The main reason for gdbsx is because we use 32bit dom0 on 64bit hypervisor,
and I couldn't get libxc to support that after a lot of effort.

What I can tell you about gdbsx is, it's a clean, simplified, lightweight
implementation, that relies on the hyp for most of the work with minimal
changes. It supports all guests, PV or HVM, 32bit or 64bit.

gdbsx currently works on 32bit dom0 running on 64bit hyp, hence, probably
not ready for the main repo. OTOH, kdb is getting there....
