Noone is using tty argument so let's get rid of it.

When an arch such as mips and microblaze does not implement either HW
or software single stepping the debug core should re-enter kdb.  The
kdb code will properly ignore the single step operation.  Attempting
to single step the kernel without software or hardware support causes
unpredictable kernel crashes.

Immediately following an exit from the kdb shell the kgdb_connected
variable should be set to zero, unless there are breakpoints planted.
If the kgdb_connected variable is not zeroed out with kdb, it is
impossible to turn off kdb.

This patch is merely a work around for now, the real fix will check
for the breakpoints.

<title>x86, kgdb, init: Add early and late debug states</title>

The kernel debugger can operate well before mm_init(), but the x86
hardware breakpoint code which uses the perf api requires that the
kernel allocators are initialized.

This means the kernel debug core needs to provide an optional arch
specific call back to allow the initialization functions to run after
the kernel has been further initialized.

The kdb shell already had a similar restriction with an early
initialization and late initialization.  The kdb_init() was moved into
the debug core's version of the late init which is called
dbg_late_init();

It is highly desirable to trap into kdb on panic.  The debug core will
attempt to register as the first in line for the panic notifier.

<title>kgdb: Add the ability to schedule a breakpoint via a tasklet</title>

Some kgdb I/O modules require the ability to create a breakpoint
tasklet, such as kgdboc and external modules such as kgdboe.  The
breakpoint tasklet is used as an asynchronous entry point into the
debugger which will have a different function scope than the current
execution path where it might not be safe to have an inline
breakpoint.  This is true of some of the kgdb I/O drivers which share
code with kgdb and rest of the kernel users.
