Yup. The threading support is first though...

I'll touch bases with you about the relocatable kernel modules.
If we want GDB to use them as symbol files and for debug information,
we need to find a way for them to be loaded in GDB. I think this will
affect how we want to solve kernel debugging in general. I already
prepared for some contingencies, like building libgdb explicitly so
that we can link against it and abuse whatever hooks there are, but
that may not be enough.

If you already have some thoughts about this, feel free to pitch them
my way. Otherwise I'll get back to it myself.
