This is a handful of changes to the kernel's gdb scripts to do some more debugging with kgdb. The first patch allows the vmlinux to be reloaded from where it was specified on the command line so that this set of scripts can be used from anywhere. The second patch adds a script to dump the config.gz to a file on the host debugging machine. The third patch adds some rb tree utilities and the last patch uses those rb tree walking utilities to dump out the contents of /proc/timer_list from a system under debug.
I'm guessing that Andrew will pick these patches up. I don't know who maintains these gdb scripts but it looks like Andrew has been doing the lifting recently.
