Changed to:

--
kgdbwait [KGDB] Stop kernel execution and enter the
kernel debugger at the earliest opportunity.

We'll assume someone actually configured the kernel debugger with
ekgdboc, kgdboc, or kgdbdbgp. The previous text was attempting to
indicate that kgdbwait only does something when you also configure a
kgdb I/O driver.

Where it stops varies on how early the I/O driver and architecture
trap processing is available.
