http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/debuggers.hg?file/926cc93296dd/xen/kdb/README

is totally independent of kdb patches in linux. It has nothing to do
with linux kdb. You'll not need to kdb patches in linux to use it. It
is a xen built-in debugger that will let you debug xen or domains. Take
a look at the README.
