Kgdb support is board dependent. Some boards, such as Malta, decide to
skip kgdb _even when_ you configure it. To activate kgdb, you need to
pass command line args, such as "kgdb=ttyS1", to kernel. What a smart idea. :)
Check the source for your board.
What I like to see is kgdb should be activated when it is configured.
However, "nokgdb" argument can be passed to kernel to skip it even when
kgdb is configured.
