Need for 'fake' procnto

It would really be handy for us poor developers to have a 'fake' procnto that does nothing but print out at appropriate 
stages what it is looking for in the system page.

I know there is a 'print_syspage()' function.
I am using it.
However *it does not tell me what I am doing wrong* !!

I currently have a crash in init_cpu() line 77.
This tells me that I am making it fairly deep into the kernel setup, and something in the cpuinfo section is wrong (I 
assume).

However: I don't know what the problem is, and I can only assume that it is because I am not setting the cpuinfo section
.
This is only an assumption on my part, nothing more.

The only thing that really needs to be in place for this is the debug putc() callout. This would be the first thing to 
check on entry, and do something obvious for success or failure. (I would suggest that if I don't get a message like 
'welcome to the fake procnto', then I would know that particular callout is bad.

Thanks ... bandit
