I am not sure this is the same problem:
I had the problem on ia64 where there is a conflict between kdb and
ia64 patch.
It depends on the order we apply the patches:
. kdb common patch then ia64 patch then kdb ia64 patch is OK.
. ia64 patch then kdb common patch & kdb ia64 patch: there is
a reject in init/main.c that prevents the call to kdb_init()
that file.
