dd8f30cc05 kgdb, docs: Fix <para> pdfdocs build errors
kgdb.pdf failed to build from 'make pdfdocs' giving errors such as:

jade:... Documentation/DocBook/kgdb.xml:200:8:E:
document type does not allow element "para" here; missing one of
"footnote", "caution", "important", "note", "tip", "warning",
"blockquote", "informalexample" start-tag

Fixing minor <para> and <sect> issues allows kgdb.pdf to be generated
under Fedora20.

Originally submitted by rajaneesh.acharya@yahoo.com in 2011, discussed here:

as patch:
 The following are the enhancements that removed the errors
 while issuing "make pdfdocs"

The CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL config item has not carried much meaning for a
while now and is almost always enabled by default. As agreed during the
Linux kernel summit, remove it from any "depends on" lines in Kconfigs.

bec4d62ead kgdb,debug_core: add the ability to control the reboot notifier
Sometimes it is desirable to stop the kernel debugger before allowing
a system to reboot either with kdb or kgdb.  This patch adds the
ability to turn the reboot notifier on and off or enter the debugger
and stop kernel execution before rebooting.

It is possible to change the setting after booting the kernel with the
following:

echo 1 > /sys/module/debug_core/parameters/kgdbreboot

It is also possible to change this setting using kdb / kgdb to
manipulate the variable directly.

Using KDB:
   mm kgdbreboot 1

Using gdb:
   set kgdbreboot=1

a9b60bf4c2 kgdb: fix kgdb_validate_break_address to perform a mem write
A regression to the kgdb core was found in the case of using the
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA kernel option.  When this option is on, a breakpoint
cannot be written into any readonly memory page.  When an external
debugger requests a breakpoint to get set, the
kgdb_validate_break_address() was only checking to see if the address
to place the breakpoint was readable and lacked a write check.

This patch changes the validate routine to try reading (via the
breakpoint set request) and also to try immediately writing the break
point.  If either fails, an error is correctly returned and the
debugger behaves correctly.  Then an end user can make the
descision to use hardware breakpoints.

Also update the documentation to reflect that using
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA will inhibit the use of software breakpoints.
