Added local APIC and IOAPIC register support. Removed all volatile
declarations from the code. Instrumented barrier() compiler
directives. streamlined mdb-list parser. Added hard
NMI interrupt capability to generate a hard NMI to a target
processor for debugging a hung processor via the APIC ASSERT_INT
command.
ISSUES:
remote read of another processors local APIC registers has been
instrumented, but I am having problems with it working on all
systems. I have tried both physical and logical command modes
and I note that smptboot.c also relies on it for error reporting.
At present, it is insufficiently tested and some other eyes and
testing would be helpful.

Can this _PLEASE_ move to a different list? I feel like these hourly
spam postings of 30 patches is really getting excessive. If people are
interested in mdb, go to the mdb list or project page.
Thanks,

Every linux release is not hourly -- the last post was 7 days ago. It
gets submitted for Andi and others to review the code, and it will be
submitted until Linus puts it into the kernel. He needs to respond, not
one of his underlings.
I guess kdb downloads must be falling off or something.

Jeff, please post them all as a reply to a single, introductory message.
That way, they get nicely grouped under that first introductory message, and
anyone not interested can just delete the entire thread.
If you're using git, git send-email can do it for you.

I will download and install git mail. Actually, I wrote my own program to
create the patch series and submit it, but sounds like git is better.
I am getting a lot of emails back from people who are using mdb and
apparently have git email as well.
Thanks,
Jeff

Can this git send-email thing sanely thread these days? It used to be
that each next email was threaded to the next, creating these insanely
deep threads.
quilt mail threads all subsequent emails from the first mail, not from
the previous - a mode I much prefer.

yes, use --no-chain-reply-to. I hate deep threads as well.
