Hi Jason,

That patch doesn't seem to have made it into kdb, which
is why I missed it.

In fact I like the version I submitted better. It is
smaller and is architecture-agnostic as well.

But I don't mind if it is dropped.  There is always the
sysRQ method of invoking a crash dump to fall back on.

Regards,
Joe
