Relative to this, due to the PPC changes is the following:

- In kgdb_handle_exception, memset remcomOutBuffer twice, instead of
  continiously throwing in NULLs around.
- Remove a KERN_CRIT from the printk while waiting for kgdb to connect
  (it's not needed there).
- Switch the initial packet from an 'S' packet (followed by a p for the
  thread ID) to a 'T' packet.

This is tested on PPC and i386 (lightly).
