Re: [patch] Disassembly improvements

BTW, how will your "Read memory in multiple lines in dcache_xfer_memory"

patch that caches things in disasm.c, fetches memory from the target
instruction by instruction?  Seems to me it'll end up always fetching
a single line at a time.

That series is to optimize dcache, since disassembly doesn't use dcache, that series doesn't help disassembly now. Once we use dcache in disassembly (that is what I am doing), that series helps when users disassembly large functions.
