kernel_debugger_core: add interrupt-context debugger core

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

This provides kernel_debugger() which can be called from an interrupt
context low level debugger wedge to execute commands that inspect
kernel state.  It doesn't do much on its own.

kernel_debugger_core: Add sysrq command.

sysrq <c> will run the sysrq command <c> and dump what
was added to the kernel log while the command ran.
