With idle polling, IPIs are not sent when a CPU idle, but queued and run later from do_idle(). The default kgdb_call_nmi_hook() implementation gets the pointer to struct pt_regs from get_irq_reqs(), which doesn't work in that case because it was not called from the IPI interrupt handler. Fix it by defining our own kgdb_roundup() function which sents an IPI_ENTER_KGDB. When that IPI is received on the target CPU kgdb_nmicallback() is called.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
