[PATCH 00/18] scripts/gdb: Updates for 4.7

[Jan Kiszka]

Hi Andrew,

please include the following enhancements and fixed for the gdb scripts
in your queue.

This adds a number of new commands and helper functions, contributed by
Kieran, and fixes lx-dmesg for Python 3 as well as corrects the output
of lx-lsmod.

Kieran stepped up to support me significantly with the maintenance of
the script. Andrew, it may very well be that you will receive the next
merge request from him already.
