It works on my device (and should work on others), but please report back. And make sure to read the README.txt

PS: Yes, I'm fully aware that this can't solve all of the "brick situations" (it requires the main and user partitions to at least be in a "somewhat" bootable state), and that USB downloader mode/fastboot etc. would be much preferrable, but... well, until somebody figures out how to get there, I guess that this is better than nothing.

PPS: I didn't bother to include the sources; they can be easily obtained using "kindletool extract".

EDIT (2013-01-28): Package updated to support all currently known Paperwhite models, and Kindle Touch as well.
Maybe it is a bug of rescue pack for KPW. I have tried many times. At first time I can enter Diags mode and connect PC via USBnet, but when I enter Diags mode next time, I cann't connect PC via USBnet anymore, althought I ping it normal. If you use rescue pack one time, you should reinstall it to keep it funtional.
