Hi Richard--

Yes, and because this was effectively the behavior of these log
messages prior to the introduction of PCREL.

Printing virtual addresses with host translation allows me to plainly
see (and grep for) how translation-provoking guest instructions map to
corresponding translations without needing to cross-reference against
additional logging, in_asm or trace:translate_block for example. I
agree logging 'what is actually in the data structures' is important,
but page offset alone has limited utility when debugging translation
issues without additional logging to provide context.

For the same reason virtual addresses are used when logging input
block assembly, performance metrics, trace events, etc.
An oversight with this patch is that raw start words are still printed
with `OP*` log items--ideally those log items would be updated
accordingly, if that is the decision.
Ultimately I'm also fine with pulling the 'guest addr' message text
and only printing the raw start words, but would prefer not to require
extra cross-referencing. If this is the decision, feel free to drop
the patch.
Thanks,
Matt
