You could check out our gdbstub-in-kernel prototype.  It has the
benefit that it is not a 'mini' stub but in time a full gdbserver
substitute.  It has the unbenefit that it is built on utrace, which is
a source of controversy.  OTOH, gdb embracing it could just blow out
the flames, which would be oh so nice.
