svn commit: r48734 - head/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug

Author: bcr
Date: Sun Apr 24 21:23:28 2016
New Revision: 48734
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/doc/48734

Log:
  Rewrite my previous change to use a <variablelist>.  That way, it is much
  clearer to understand and easier to read than having it all in one long
  sentence.
