kdb is always released as a patch on top on Linus's kernels.  There is
no CVS tree for kdb, it does not make any sense as free standing code.

I can take replacement patches against the standard kernel or patches
against a kdb patched kernel, the latter is probably easier.  Apply the
kdb patch, take a copy of the patched kernel and edit it.  When your
changes are working, diff -ur between (kernel + kdb) and (kernel + kdb +
your changes).  Just tell me which kernel and kdb patch you have changed.
