FIXES
- fix precedence output in GDB disassembler with scalar expressions
i.e. (rax + (rbx * 8)) to conform to C Language precedence rules
- fix fpu_init code in arch/x86/kernel/i387.c to use GFP_DMA instead
of GFP_KERNEL since GFP_KERNEL should not be called from an exception
context
- regression test 2.6.34.1 on ia32/x86_64 4 way Opteron and ia32 UP

TODO
- add GDB disssembler opcodes library for all linux arch (port in process)
- add GDB registers and memory commands, abstract register naming in the code
- restructure ARM command reference for DaVinci support
- add DSP support for debugging ARM/DSP domains
