It's well known that one cannot use bochs debugger to see paging mappings for 64bit addresses. Could you please finally add it?

    What do you mean ?

    Type 'page <addr>' in debugger and you will get the full mapping together with extra info.</addr>

    You also have SF patch for debugger which improves 'info tab' but it is unefficient. The problem that could be to much pages in long mode so creating a list of them culd take a lot of time and memory.

    Hey, when one issues "info tab", he expects to see entire mapping, right? Speed of this command shouldn't be argument for not implementing it properly; sometimes you need to check all mappings, debugging own paging code - and you cannot, because... "info tab" is limited, because it would be "slow"? Most important factor when evaluating debugging features is usefulness, not speed...
