a new kdb command you can build the kdb_hello.ko kernel module
from samples/kdb/kdb_hello.c. To build this example you can
set CONFIG_SAMPLES=y and CONFIG_SAMPLE_KDB=m in your kernel
config. Later run "modprobe kdb_hello" and the next time you
enter the kdb shell, you can run the "hello"
command.</para></listitem>
