Wow, that is quite subtle. Indeed, now I clearly see that we do mangle
SVC's SPSR.

Thanks!

Yup, I got the idea: we have to restore the SPSR in SVC mode, but
then we switch to FIQ mode and exit the exception while being in
the FIQ mode, that way CPU won't change our restored SPSR_svc.

As for "saved_spsr_svc", I think the easiest way to get it, is to
switch to FIQ mode temporary, and read it from the stack.

(Plus, cpsid is not available for older CPUs, but the thing is that
we don't touch global enable/disable FIQs/IRQs flags, so I guess
I don't actually need it.)

So, that's what I've applied on top:

Subject: ARM: Add KGDB/KDB FIQ debugger generic code

The FIQ debugger may be used to debug situations when the kernel stuck
in uninterruptable sections, e.g. the kernel infinitely loops or
deadlocked in an interrupt or with interrupts disabled.

By default KGDB FIQ is disabled in runtime, but can be enabled with
kgdb_fiq.enable=1 kernel command line option.
