Thanks very much for this.  Here's a (only compile-tested) patch for
this, on top of jwessel's current kgdb-next branch.  Jason, would you
mind testing on pre-nv20 and applying?

Thanks,

- Chris.

Subject: [PATCH] drm/nouveau/kms: Avoid a hang entering KDB with VT accel on.

Francisco Jerez advises that pre-nv20 cards would hang if we entered
kdb with accel on and IRQs disabled, so we now disable accel before
entering kdb and re-enable it on the way back out.
