+Some hints on memory-access tracing in Bochs:
+====================================================================
+
+ - Instruction fetches: no memory accesses!
+ - INC ${MEM_ADDR} (increment in memory): a read and a write access
+ - CALL ${INSTR_ADDR} (call function): a single write access
+ - PUSH %{REG} (push on stack): dito
+ - PUSHF (push on stack): dito
+ - INT ${INTERRUPT#} (interrupt trigger): 3 write accesses
+
