When you attach gdb the kernel, set a breakpoint at gdb_break_stub. 
Then start you kernel (pressing 'c'). 

Say you want to debug a function in the kernel where you don't have 
break point, start your compiled gdb-break program on the console. 
Now you should hit the gdb_break_stub breakpoint. From there it 
should be clear.
