Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] cdb: split cdb into arch independet/dependet par

These make sense if we want to avoid setting a breakpoint in GDB stub
code or code called by the GDB stub, such as serial output. However,
these symbols aren't currently used. (You probably inherited this from
the PPC stub.) At least it's worth a TODO comment, possibly in
gdb_cmd_write_mem(): we shouldn't be writing to memory between those
two symbols.
added __gdbstub_text_start, __gdbstub_text_end declarations and
a comment above gdb_cmd_write_mem()
Is this really worthwhile? The gdbstub will be using calling functions
outside this range, so it's not a comprehensive solution for
disallowing breakpoints in gdb mode. For that I think you'd need to
clear all breakpoints on entry to gdbstub and re-set them on exit.
I'd prefer to avoid extra section directives unless they're clearly
useful.
