It seems to work in my testing. ...but the worry I have is the
comment right before trap_init(). It says:

/* This registration must happen early, before debug_traps_init(). */

By moving debug_traps_init() early we're violating that comment. Do I
just remove that comment, or was there a good reason for it? ...or am
I reading it wrong and I should have read it as if it said:

/* NOTE: this registration happens early, before debug_traps_init(). */

...then removing it is fine. Maybe that's right?

I coded this up and put it on the Chrome OS gerrit at
<https://crrev.com/c/2195061>. I'm happy to post this on the list as
a loner patch to replace this one or spin the whole series depending
on what people want.
