<li>Improvements for LIBUSBBOOT.</li>
<li>Support for Exynos EHCI in the loader.</li>
<li>A fix for instruction single stepping in DDB.</li>
<li>Support for hardware watchpoints, including watchpoints
on SMP systems.</li>
<li>Single stepping using the ARM Debug Architecture.</li>
<li>Support for gzip-compressed kernel modules in
