The x86 code is under the if utils.is_target_arch("x86") ... else
gdb.GdbError("Virtual address translation is not supported for this
arch") check so for now it will be an error to use this command for
other archs. In the patch v2 I mentioned x86 explicitly in the commit
message and also addressed issues Mike pointed out. Could you please
apply https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221231171258.7907-1-dmitrii.bundin.a@gmail.com/
in place of v1?
