Very nice and clean! Just a few nits as shown below, but they are minor
and can be mechanically fixed.  So the code part of the patch is
pre-approved, after you address the last comments below (it means that
you have permission to commit the patch, but please make sure to send
a copy of the patch that you end up checking in).  I think Eli already
approved the latest version of the documentation part, but he'll
probably want to have a last quick look.

And of course, now that I talk about checking in your patch, I am
now only realizing that you do not seem to have an assignment filed
with the FSF. This is a requirement for us to accept your patch.
Perhaps you have an assignment on file through your employer?
I couldn't find you in their records using either your name or
email domain.  Let me know if you'd like me to get you started with
the paperwork. It takes a few weeks, so start ASAP if needed.

You forgot to rename this constant to interrupt_sequence_break_g,
to match the actual litteral value.

I've noticed a few English mistakes. I started pointed them out, but in
the end, it's probably simpler if I give you the correct version:

/* This boolean variable specifies whether interrupt_sequence is sent
   to the remote target when gdb connects to it.
   This is mostly needed when you debug theLinux kernel: The Linux kernel
   expects BREAK g which is Magic SysRq g for connecting gdb.  */

This should not be static. That way, it gets allocated on the stack
and then released after the function returns.
