Support for decoding i386 trap frames in kgdb appears to have been
lost by revision 1.3 of contrib/gdb/gdb/config/i386/tm-fbsd.h, since
FRAME_SAVED_PC() is defined there in terms of i386bsd_frame_saved_pc(),
so fbsd_kern_frame_saved_pc() in gnu/usr.bin/binutils/gdb/kvm-fbsd.c
never gets called. A simple way to see this is to run

	gdb -k kernel.debug /dev/mem

and get a backtrace from the idle process:

	(kgdb) proc 11
	(kgdb) bt
	#0  mi_switch () at ../../../kern/kern_synch.c:530
	#1  0xc01edb92 in ithread_schedule (ithread=0xc1898280, do_switch=1)
	    at ../../../kern/kern_intr.c:402
	#2  0xc034ad43 in sched_ithd (cookie=0xc1894d80)
	    at ../../../i386/isa/ithread.c:77
	#3  0xc03380cc in Xintr14 () at {standard input}:382
	#4  0xc01ed16c in idle_proc (dummy=0x0) at ../../../kern/kern_idle.c:114
	#5  0xc01ecea0 in fork_exit (callout=0xc01ed130 <idle_proc>, arg=0x0, 
	    frame=0x0) at ../../../kern/kern_fork.c:792

This is what it should look like:

	(kgdb) proc 11
	(kgdb) bt
	#0  mi_switch () at ../../../kern/kern_synch.c:530
	#1  0xc01edb92 in ithread_schedule (ithread=0xc1898280, do_switch=1)
	    at ../../../kern/kern_intr.c:402
	#2  0xc034ad43 in sched_ithd (cookie=0xc1898280)
	    at ../../../i386/isa/ithread.c:77
	#3  0xc033e242 in cpu_idle () at ../../../i386/i386/machdep.c:1074
	#4  0xc01ed16c in idle_proc (dummy=0x0) at ../../../kern/kern_idle.c:114
	#5  0xc01ecea0 in fork_exit (callout=0xc01ed130 <idle_proc>, arg=0x0, 
	    frame=0x0) at ../../../kern/kern_fork.c:792

i.e, the cpu_idle() frame now appears instead of Xintr14().

The following patch appears to fix this on the i386 (I haven't
looked at whether the problem affects other architectures). I also
haven't looked in detail to see what else could be stripped from
fbsd-kgdb-i386.h.
