Is anyone really still using the stabs format for kernel debug?
can we kill off the .stabs references?

What, you want to replace them with dwarf markup? Or just
get rid of the debug info completely?

There are two users today:
* N_SO for file information we can easily make into .file
* N_FUN used in _GLOBAL() that marks it a 'function' is a bit
misleading since we use this for both functions and data. Not sure
what to do about that one, any suggestions?

#define _GLOBAL(n) \
.text; \
.stabs __stringify(n:F-1),N_FUN,0,0,n;\
.globl n; \
n:
this is the .stabs reference I'm trying to figure out what the dwarf
equiv would be.
