Reading this, I wonder how many kernel debugging features we need. I
don't even think we have a centralized list of them. They all just live
in their own silos.

This one really seems like a super specialized tool. It has to be
enabled at compile time and specifically aimed at a specific function.

Maybe this should live off on the side for a while. If folks end up
actually needing it, they can point their friendly LLM over to its tree.
