As far as I can tell this looks right. Specifically in kdb_stub() I see that it needs "ks->ex_vector == 0" to get "reason" as KDB_REASON_SSTEP.

I did really basic testing of this series as a whole and things that used to be broken for me around stepping / going past breakpoints are now fixed. I'll keep using it more, but it definitely feels like it makes things happier.
