>Description:
Developers Handbook Section 11.3 (Debugging a Crash Dump with DDD)) says to use `ddd -k` to debug kernels.
This will invoke `gdb -k`. For 5.3 and later, kgdb is used for kernel debugging.
Using `ddd --debugger kgdb` will pass `-q -fullname` as an option to kgdb, but
kgdb doesn't handle them at the moment and thus startup will fail.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
pass -f / -fullname to the GDB core (according to marcel@)
implement -q / -quiet in some way to skip copyright messages etc.
