- Merged third round of "xencrash" patches, which allows a crash
session to alternatively be brought up against the xen-syms
binary instead of a vmlinux kernel. This update introduces
support for ia64. (oda(a)valinux.co.jp)
- Verified support of live system analysis of ia64 xen kernels, and
removed unnecessary EFI memory verification warning message during
their initialization. (anderson(a)redhat.com)
- Added gdb's "shell" command to the prohibited gdb command list, and
updated the "help output" page to describe shell escape usage.

- Fix for the x86 "bt" command for the 2.6.20 kernel, which has added
the "xgs" field to the pt_regs structure. Without this patch, the
exception frame dump in "bt" would show invalid contents for several
registers; the fix also shows the GS register contents.

- Fix for the "mount" command for the 2.6.20 kernel to recognize the
new "nsproxy" field in the task_struct and the contents of the
nsproxy and mnt_namespace structures, in order to find the root
mount namespace. Without the patch, the command would fail with:
"mount: invalid kernel virtual address: 69 type: first list entry".

- Fix for the "files" command for the 2.6.20 kernel to handle the
removal of the fdtable "max_fdset" member. Without the patch, the
command would fail with: "files: invalid structure member offset:
fdtable_max_fdset". (anderson(a)redhat.com)
- Fix for the "net -[sS]" command options for the 2.6.20 kernel to
handle the removal of the fdtable "max_fdset" member. Without the
patch, the command would fail with: "net: invalid structure member
offset: fdtable_max_fdset". (anderson(a)redhat.com)
- Fix for the "vm" command for the 2.6.20 kernel to handle the removal
of the file structure's "f_dentry" member, and its placement inside
the embedded "path" structure. Without the patch the command would
fail with: "vm: invalid structure member offset: file_f_dentry".

- Fix for the "swap" command for the 2.6.20 kernel to handle the removal
of the file structure's "f_vfsmnt" member, and its placement inside
the embedded "path" structure. Without the patch the command would
fail with: "swap: invalid structure member offset: file_f_vfsmnt".
