gdb against the kernel needs frame pointers.  kdb knows all about the
kernel special cases on the stack, gdb does not.  But since we have
made a start on gdb over serial line to kdb, even that argument
disappears.  For consistency I will add frame pointers to the routines
that do not have it but recommend that frame pointers not be used.
