| If an architecture can definitely handle entering the debugger |

| Otherwise, if "kgdbwait" is passed on the kernel command line it |
| won't actually be processed until dbg_late_init() just after the |
| call to kgdb_arch_late() is made. |
| |
| NOTE: Even if this isn't selected by an architecture we will |
| still try to register kgdb to handle breakpoints and crashes |
| when early_param's are parsed, we just won't act on the |
| "kgdbwait" parameter until dbg_late_init(). If you get a |
| crash and try to drop into kgdb somewhere between these two |
| places you might or might not end up being able to use kgdb |
| depending on exactly how far along the architecture has initted. |
