+         NOTE: Even if this isn't selected by an architecture we will
+         still try to register kgdb to handle breakpoints and crashes
+         when early_param's are parsed, we just won't act on the
+         "kgdbwait" parameter until dbg_late_init().  If you get a

+         places you might or might not end up being able to use kgdb
+         depending on exactly how far along the architecture has initted.
