[PATCH v8 00/22] Add gdb python scripts as kernel debugging helpers

[Jan Kiszka]

Some time passed since the last posting. Basically, this round comes
with two changes:
 - make the code Python 3 compatible [Pantelis Koukousoulas]
 - rebase over recent Linux version, resolving a trivial conflict

See http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1210.0/01598.html for
the original description and

    git://git.kiszka.org/linux.git queues/gdb-scripts

for the latest version.

I'm still hoping someone will move this forward via his tree towards
upstream. Please let me know if any changes are required to enable this.
