a14d3c3c2e Rewrite my previous change to use a <variablelist>. That way, it is much 
clearer to understand and easier to read than having it all in one long
sentence.

9c4c826a5f Remove two sections about kerneldebugging (post mortem analysis and 
loadable modules using gdb) because the steps described in them are
not necessary anymore for quite a long time.

A rewrite would be in order, but since this goes beyond the scope of
the PR, I'll just remove them for now.

21c0c8925b Mention full memor dumps, minidumps, and textdumps in the introduction 
to kernel debugging, with consequences for debugging.

Mention that the default in more recent FreeBSD versions is to
automatically select a swap partition and use it as a dump partition,
and don't suggest changing the default.

This chapter could use rather serious updating.

10be000a0a Update the section on debugging a kernel with GDB to include a recent 
dump and the basics of what most developers would like to see in reports
of a panic where a dump is available.  Also trim a few lines from the
previous dump example (still included) and sync up some of the gdb
commands for the sake of consistency.
