The FIQ debugger may be used to debug situations when the kernel stuck in uninterruptable sections, e.g. the kernel infinitely loops or deadlocked in an interrupt or with interrupts disabled.

This patch is a near complete re-write of a patch originally provided by Anton Vorontsov. Today only a couple of comments and other small fragments still survive, however without Anton's work to build from this patch would not exist.
