I pointed the kgdb test suite at this branch (as I did for the earlier
part of the patchset, although I think I forgot to post about it).

The console coverage is fairly modest (I think just 8250 and PL011
drivers, with and without earlycon) and the suite exercises features
rather than crash resilience. Nevertheless and FWIW, the tests didn't
pick up any regressions. Yay!
