Hi Andrew,

I did some testing with gdb and it seems to correctly assume that
__asm_copy_to_user maps to __asm_copy_from_user for debugging. The basic
tests that I did (breakpoints, disasm, etc) seems to show no sign of
problems for debugging. Were you thinking about other things specifically ?

Thanks,

Clément
