gdb only can process kernel space. Jan's gdb-python script may can process
user-mode tasks, but we should get user-mode task's register from the kernel
or note, and convest virtual address/linear address to physicall address.

I donot meet such case, and I donot know what should I do in this patch now.
So I donot change it now.
