add a set of scripts that I posted to -current last year. This makes
debugging kernels and kernel modules much easier. It will automaticly
locate kernel source, extract kernel module information, and rerun gdb
to load kernel module symbol information (if available by compiling module
w/ debuging symbols).
I have not run these recently, so may need to be updated to work with
gdb6. Feel free to fix as appropriate for -current.
