This allows for KGDB to better deal with autoloaded modules. The way this
works, requires a patch to GDB. This patch can be found at
ftp://source.mvista.com/pub/kgdb/gdb-6.3-kgdb-module-notification.patch
The way this works is that the solib-search-path must contain the location of
any module to be debugged, and then when a module is loaded GDB acts like a
shared library has been loaded now, and can be used that way.
