[PATCH 00/18] scripts/gdb: Updates for 4.7

[Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com>]

Hi Andrew,

please include the following enhancements and fixed for the gdb scripts
in your queue.

This adds a number of new commands and helper functions, contributed by
Kieran, and fixes lx-dmesg for Python 3 as well as corrects the output
of lx-lsmod.

Kieran stepped up to support me significantly with the maintenance of
the script. Andrew, it may very well be that you will receive the next
merge request from him already.

Jan
