Well, this probably works for you but have you
considered how it affects others?

I'm not going to get into the -ggdb flags discussion,
since I know we've had that in the past.  Why is
this needed and should it be done for everyone?

Your update of MSR_KERNEL will work for you,
but won't work on anything that isn't a Book E processor.
You can't make this a generic update to all processors.
It will fail on everything that really wants to use the
BDI_SWITCH configuration option as it was intended.
The DE in Book E conflicts with BE in traditional PPC.

This also doesn't do anything to address my real concern,
we shouldn't have to create a special kernel configuration
just to attach a debugger .........

Thanks.
