Workaround KGDB issues on ARM by ignoring ARM EABI version higher than 5

Browse Source 
To make KGDB working, it needs to understand kernel ELF image.
By default it is compiled using EABI_5, which is not supported
on the gdb-6. As a workaround, treat these images as EABI_2 because
they share a lot of things in common.

This workaround does not guarantee ALL funtionalities
to work.
