I'll try this as soon as we get this kernel update out of the door.

I did one debug session last week with manually running gdb -i=mi to
verify whether this is the case, and console gdb did not insert these
commands so my debugging session ran without problems.

I also noticed that Linux console output takes the following form on my
setup:
@"console message from the kernel"
These show up in the terminal, but not in gdb-mi inside Emacs, making
Linux debugging with gdb-mi a bit cumbersome at the moment. I think this
is the format that's described in (info "(gdb) GDB/MI Stream Records").

I'll check on Monday. I think they appeared right away but I might be
wrong.
