Can I suggest yet another flag to be put in the kernel? It seems to
me that you could want a situation where you want to be able to get
into the debugger (for machine lock-ups), but you want the machine to
panic cleanly when you aren't there and leave a core dump instead.
My proposal: a flag which allows <CTRL>-<ALT>-<ESC> to still drop you
into the debugger, but which doesn't call the debugger
for kernel panic's.
Comments?
