This whole pile of patches was motivated by me trying to get kgdb to
work properly on a platform where my serial driver ended up being hit
by the -EPROBE_DEFER virus (it wasn't practicing social distancing
from other drivers).  Specifically my serial driver's parent device
depended on a resource that wasn't available when its probe was first
called.  It returned -EPROBE_DEFER which meant that when "kgdboc"
tried to run its setup the serial driver wasn't there.  Unfortunately
"kgdboc" never tried again, so that meant that kgdb was disabled until
I manually enalbed it via sysfs.

This series (and my comments / documentation / commit messages) are
now long enough that my eyes glaze over when I try to read it all over
to double-check.  I've nontheless tried to double-check it, but I'm
pretty sure I did something stupid.  Thank you ahead of time for
pointing it out to me so I can fix it in v5.  If somehow I managed to
not do anything stupid (really?) then thank you for double-checking me
anyway.
Applied (minus the arm64 specific stuff), should be in the next linux-next.


Daniel.
