I recommend using a serial port if you really want to use a kernel
debugger, it is currently the only way[1].
good luck,

[1] Yes, I know the USB 2.0 ports have a debugging interface available,
and other operating systems provide this functionality through that
port, but you need a special cable, and so far, no one has been
willing to provide such a cable to any Linux kernel developers,
despite numerous times being asked and promises being made, yet
constantly broken by those companies[2]...
[2] Looking at your email address, you should know all about this
already, so it is quite surprising that you are asking this here...
