Maybe. I'm not really familiar with ttm_bo_kmap limitations on 32-bit. I
guess the the access would have to be really big. I think in practice
GDB doesn't do very big accesses. So I'm not sure it's worth the trouble.

Good point. I'll change that.

I made this as similar as possible to the vm_ops->access API, where
write is also an integer.
