Maybe maybe not with respect to your patch set. All the kdb files moved around and quite a few removed entirely or consolidated into other files, and a number of function names got changed (thanks in part to Martin) because we were making things much more generic. The kdb core in the new version lives in kernel/debug/kdb. The debug core itself is kernel/debug/debug_core.c.
