[patch 15/16] Allow KGDB to work well with loaded modules

[Tom Rini <trini@kernel.crashing.org>]

This allows for KGDB to better deal with autoloaded modules.  The way this
works, requires a patch to GDB.  This patch can be found at
ftp://source.mvista.com/pub/kgdb/gdb-6.3-kgdb-module-notification.patch

The way this works is that the solib-search-path must contain the location of
any module to be debugged, and then when a module is loaded GDB acts like a
shared library has been loaded now, and can be used that way.
