I disagree with that statement, unless you drop the kernel part. We certainly support debugging XNU core dumps on non Darwin platforms. MacOSX-Kernel is for live debugging over KDP, not core file debugging which is handled by mach-core. That said, that doesn't need to changes the direction of this PR.
