Hello. When we use kgdboe, we can't use it until do_basic_setup() is done.
So we have two options, not allow kgdboe to use the initial breakpoint
or move debugger_entry() to be past the point where kgdboe will be usable.
I've opted for the latter, as if an earlier breakpoint is needed you can
still use serial and throw kgdb_schedule_breakpoint/breakpoint where desired.

Please don't do this. How about configuring it along with the connection method. I really don't want to have to modify the kernel just to get in early.
