The main differences between v4.3 and v4.4 (IOW why I bumped the version number)
* v4.4 no longer prints all tasks by default. It suppresses Idle and
system daeMon tasks, they are assumed to be irrelevant to most
debugging. Should not affect any architecture.
* The serial console sequence changed from control-A to escape-KDB.
Should not affect any architecture unless you were already using a
different sequence.
* Make set NOSECT=1 the default. 2.6 kernels do not have the data
required for useful section data, 2.4 kernels still do.
* Add standard archkdb commands.
* Big clean up and reorganisation of include/linux/{kdb,kdbprivate}.h,
with adjustments to include/asm-*/{kdb,kdbprivate}.h to suit.
* Move bfd.h and ansidecl.h from arch/$(ARCH)/kdb to
include/asm-$(ARCH) and remove -I arch/$(ARCH)/kdb from Makefiles.
* Move kdb_{get,put}userarea_size definitions to linux/kdb.h.
The last three are the ones most likely to impact your backport.
