Yes, but I don't think you get symbolic information from modules.

It's *much* better. You can debug device drivers and interrupt code easily. You can set breakpoints anywhere you want.
The only thing to watch is that although the gdbstub patch turns on "-g" for the kernel compilation, it doesn't turn of "-fomit-frame-pointer". Debugging with frame pointers is much better since you then get full stacktrace information when you enter the debugger.
