Yes those would be a bit different as they would be physical memory
accesses.  Those currently go through address_space_read in memory_dump
(monitor/misc.c), and would have to use the MemoryDebugOps instead.
That is the place to hook into in order to read the KVM page encryption
bitmap (which is not per-CPU, so another MemoryDebugOps entry
get_phys_addr_attrs?); the MemTxAttrs can then be passed to the read
function in the MemoryDebugOps.

Sorry about that, I've been busy with QEMU.  I'll review them as soon as
possible.
