[Xen-devel] [PATCH] extend qemu-dm.debug to use ddd for device model debugging

["Andrew D. Ball" <aball@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This patch modifies the qemu-dm.debug shell script to call ddd.  I have tested 
it with
xm-test against xen-unstable.hg changeset 8497, with no evidence of regression.

Add support to the qemu-dm.debug script to launch a ddd window running
gdb on the device model for fully virtualized domU's.
