#1321004 — [PATCH 11/31] Add debugger entry points for ARC

This patch series adds an export which can be set by system debuggers to
direct the hard lockup and soft lockup detector to trigger a breakpoint
exception and enter a debugger if one is active.  It is assumed that if
someone sets this variable, then an breakpoint handler of some sort will
be actively loaded or registered via the notify die handler chain.

This addition is extremely useful for debugging hard and soft lockups
real time and quickly from a console debugger.

To reduce duplication, maybe later this could be used to replace
arch_kgdb_breakpoint()

You can drop this patch series, I am rethinking a better way to do this.
