Hi,
For xen domain dump image, read_in_kernel_config() calls
gdb_interface() like following backtrace, and crash exits with a fatal
error "crash: gdb_interface: gdb not initialized?".

I made following patch which changes timing to read ikconfig data
after gdb initialize. This is checked by compile and run for xendump
on x86_32 and x86_32pae.
