Re: remote gdb: reboot system(Linux)

["Amit S. Kale" <akale at veritas dot com>]

You can set pc to machine_restart function and continue.
That will immediately reboot the machine.

kgdb (http://kgdb.sourceforge.net/) doesn't yet support
gdb remote protocol packets kill, attach and detach.

I'll add it whenever I get some time.
