Hi,

There is framework called "Kprobes" available, which may
be of use in the cases were remote debugging is a no-no.

After you have applied the kprobes patch, you can put probes
at different portions of the kernel and can dump registers
variables etc.

More details can be found at  
http://www-124.ibm.com/linux/projects/kprobes.


Regards,
KK.
