It already does on many ports.
The problem is that if your machine crashes and you don't have another
machine attached to it, ddb is your only hope. cgd thinks this isn't
an issue, but for me, that is the usual case by a big margin.
I wish we could put kgdb idrectly into the kernel the way ddb is. :(
Unfortunately, that can't be done. :(
