  I have the dtop.c change - I recently added it to my system when
trying to test the kernel breakpoints.

  I also have a fix to dc.c for the serial console on the 3100 to allow
a break to enter DDB.  I still need to figure out a check to only enter
DDB if the serial port is the console.  [Otherwise, any user logging
in on the serial port could cause the system to enter DDB.]
