The problem is that the box is mainly used as a compile box, so disabling
one CPU has quite negativish effects on the performance of this type of
operations. But well.

It might however be worth trying to kick a kgdb in some way... If I build
a cross-gdb, I might also debug it from my non-alpha workstation over the
serial console, I guess.

Let's see...
