bfcdefd8aa Eliminate HAVE_STOPPEDPCBS. On ia64 the PCPU holds a pointer to the
PCB in which the context of stopped CPUs is stored. To access this
PCB from KDB, we introduce a new define, called KDB_STOPPEDPCB. The
definition, when present, lives in <machine/kdb.h> and abstracts
where MD code saves the context. Define KDB_STOPPEDPCB on i386,
amd64, alpha and sparc64 in accordance to previous code.

cbc174356c Introduce the KDB debugger frontend. The frontend provides a framework
in which multiple (presumably different) debugger backends can be
configured and which provides basic services to those backends.
Besides providing services to backends, it also serves as the single
point of contact for any and all code that wants to make use of the
debugger functions, such as entering the debugger or handling of the
alternate break sequence. For this purpose, the frontend has been
made non-optional.
All debugger requests are forwarded or handed over to the current
backend, if applicable. Selection of the current backend is done by
the debug.kdb.current sysctl. A list of configured backends can be
obtained with the debug.kdb.available sysctl. One can enter the
debugger by writing to the debug.kdb.enter sysctl.
