Serial.  I'm not aware of any IP based method of talking to a remote
gdb, and frankly I'm not even sure how it would work while
single-stepping a kernel - getting a packet off the wire and
delivering it to a usermode process takes quite a few steps, after
all, and you'd probably be left with a rather difficult debugging
scenario! :-)
