That is absolutely correct.  Thanks for catching this.

I folded this into the general ARM kgdb patch as there is no sense in
generating a patch bisecting failure.  The change is in the kgdb-next
branch which feeds into the linux-next, which means it should show up in
the next day or so.

Thanks,
Jason.
