   kgdb scripting is painfully slow, difficult to write, and not very
flexible. What I'd like to see is a cda that is built along with the kernel
so it's data structures are correct and it stays in sync with the kernel
sources. I'd also like the utility to be able to read the crash dump saved
in swap without having to copy it first to a file (since few people have
the space for large crash dump images).
