Kernel Debug via gdbstub

- There was some discussion about improving debug experience with kernel debugging - for example while in KVM a single-step usually goes to the exception table - in TCG this isn't always the case (maybe time accounting is better?) - follow-up on x86 and kgdb experience :todo - worth creating a STORY for this work? :todo

- started looking at {PATCH 0/7} Acceptance Tests: basic architecture support Message-Id: 20181004151429.7232-1-crosa@redhat.com - get the upstream CI back on track :todo
