kdb on Opteron

[Ray Bryant]

Jack,

After some more testing it appears that kdb on Opteron requires 
CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y.   If I do the following:

make defconfig

after applying the kdb patches, I get a kernel that won't boot.   (It triple 
faults after "Freeing unused kernel memory....")

The above config has CONFIG_HOTPLUG not set.

If I edit the .config file to turn CONFIG_HOTPLUG on, then 

make oldconfig
make

I get a kernel that works and kdb will start, etc.

Make any sense to you?
