dmesg, which is a pretty bad thing to do.

When you talking about "built-in disassembler", do you talking about
"memsave/objdump" or some other more convenient way for this?

And maybe we can let QEmu do some dump of the assembler code?
(kvm_show_code())

In the qemu monitor, type 'x/20i $eip' to get a disassembly of code around the current instruction pointer.

I have a patch somewhere that adds instruction emulation bytes (both
successful and failed) to ftrace.  That may be useful, perhaps.
It would surely help. :)

I'll try to resurrect it.
