kdb v0.6 (the only one available for 2.2 kernels) has limited support
for module debugging, in particular it has a very restricted symbol
table. kdb v1.3 (for 2.4 kernels) has much better support for modules.
SGI has no plans to back port the kdb v1.3 code to 2.2 kernels due to
our resource constraints. Of course if somebody wants to backport kdb
v1.3 to 2.2 kernels we would be glad to help.
