How hard would it be to add a kernel option that would enable an alternate
key to drop to the debugger?  Say have it so that if a keystroke of ~b (as
suggested by one user) came through on the console line, it would drop to
the debugger?

I guess the next question is would this even work once the hang happened,
of course...
