"on some architectures or you use external debuggers"
doesn't sound too good
"on some architectures or if you use external debuggers"
is better.

If you don't debug the kernel, you can say N.

Why bother anyway since the original is brief and neat. (yours could be s/if/when/ even)

I would definitely agree with Jesper that the current version needs changing.
However, I don't know technically whether it means:
a) you will need an external debugger to get this information
b) this information will be available in the log (etc) and ALSO via an
external debugger

We can argue the exact wording (using "when" is probably better, I
agree), but the current text is just not proper english.
