any particular reason?
Only this
"At the moment, this is implemented only by alpha and frv."
It depends on architecture.
and note that it's currently *not* in
arch/frv/Kconfig.debug -- it's hard-coded with a macro name that's not
the same as the config option, and i don't really see the advantage of
having each architecture implement precisely the same feature in
different and incompatible ways. but i'm willing to be convinced
otherwise.
