This problem seems to have been due to kgdb being enabled. Quote from
Jaap Stolk, the test user:
"(test)mmiotrace will trigger wait for serial debugger if kgdb and
CONFIG_KGDB_ATTACH_WAIT is enabled."
After disabling it, mmiotrace ran fine.

I tested, worked just fine. Well, the test module does not really test
simultaneous iomem access. And I have an issue with following relay
buffers' full/not-full status, I'm looking into that now.

page_address() seems to be dealing with struct page, someone said we
usually don't have that (ioremap).

Is this what you had in mind? I had to add an export for lookup_address()
to make this work.

Nope, the compiler says the initializer is not constant.

I don't think I understand what you mean. Get rid of
(do_)ioremap_trace_core?

Might be cool, but not until there's no hope of getting into 2.6.25.

Uhh yeah, if you mean the stuff in drivers/kvm/x86_emulate.c, it indeed looks
like it's decoding instructions. Other than that, I understood almost nothing
in there. There's one gigantic function that seems to decode and emulate an
instruction. I would have to refactor all that code and I'm not up for it.

Thank you for your kind and constructive comments.
