I'm suggesting that we shouldn't be claiming something to be an
abstraction when it isn't really. There's exactly one use of
debugger_trap_fatal() outside x86/ after patch 1 of this series:
static void do_debugger_trap_fatal(struct cpu_user_regs *regs)
{
(void)debugger_trap_fatal(0xf001, regs);
...
}
That's very certainly _not_ arch-independent. Hence I'd rather
see some #ifdef-ary added there and the function remaining
x86-specific for the time being, i.e. until such a time when
someone might come forward with a suitable abstraction. Perhaps
(as an alternative to #ifdef-ary) the '%' debug key should be
x86-specific altogether, and perhaps its setup and handling
could be moved into the new debugger.c?
