10	  If you say Y here, it will be possible to remotely debug the
11	  kernel using gdb.  It is recommended but not required, that
12	  you also turn on the kernel config option
13	  CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER to aid in producing more reliable stack
14	  backtraces in the external debugger.  Documentation of
15	  kernel debugger is available at http://kgdb.sourceforge.net
16	  as well as in DocBook form in Documentation/DocBook/.  If
17	  unsure, say N.

34	  This is a kgdb I/O module specifically designed to test
35	  kgdb's internal functions.  This kgdb I/O module is
36	  intended to for the development of new kgdb stubs
37	  as well as regression testing the kgdb internals.
38	  See the drivers/misc/kgdbts.c for the details about
39	  the tests.  The most basic of this I/O module is to boot
40	  a kernel boot arguments "kgdbwait kgdbts=V1F100"
