Eeek. This will indeed require some #ifdefs, so I'll hold this off
until 2.6.15 is out, just in case they change things again.

Yes, not having the sourecode makes it a bit inconvenient... For
disassembly, the best tool is IDA Pro. For the hardware breakpoint
approach, SoftICE is your buddy. Both have evaluation versions. I
wonder why IBM/Lenovo makes their customers stoop to this, when they
must already have the spec neatly typed out and filed in triplicates.
