kdb: core for kgdb back end (1 of 2)

This patch contains only the kdb core.  Because the change set was
large, it was split.  The next patch in the series includes the
instrumentation into the core kernel which are mainly helper functions
for kdb.

This work is directly derived from kdb v4.4 found at:

ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/kdb/download/v4.4/

The kdb internals have been re-organized to make them mostly platform
independent and to connect everything to the debug core which is used by
gdbstub (which has long been known as kgdb).

The original version of kdb was 58,000 lines worth of changes to
support x86.  From that implementation only the kdb shell, and basic
commands for memory access, runcontrol, lsmod, and dmesg where carried
forward.

This is a generic implementation which aims to cover all the current
architectures using the kgdb core: ppc, arm, x86, mips, sparc, sh and
blackfin.  More archictectures can be added by implementing the
architecture specific kgdb functions.

+ * kdb_read

+ *	buffer	- Address of character buffer to receive input characters.
+ *	bufsize - size, in bytes, of the character buffer
+ * Returns:
+ *	Returns a pointer to the buffer containing the received
+ *	character string.  This string will be terminated by a
+ *	newline character.
+ * Locking:
+ *	No locks are required to be held upon entry to this
+ *	function.  It is not reentrant - it relies on the fact
+ *	that while kdb is running on only one "master debug" cpu.
+ * Remarks:
+ *
+ * The buffer size must be >= 2.  A buffer size of 2 means that the caller only
+ * wants a single key.
+ *
+ * An escape key could be the start of a vt100 control sequence such as \e[D
+ * (left arrow) or it could be a character in its own right.  The standard
+ * method for detecting the difference is to wait for 2 seconds to see if there
+ * are any other characters.  kdb is complicated by the lack of a timer service
+ * (interrupts are off), by multiple input sources and by the need to sometimes
+ * return after just one key.  Escape sequence processing has to be done as
+ * states in the polling loop.
