Even better: Inherited from QEMU, KVM provides a full-blown gdb backend.
So you can do source-level debugging of your guest very comfortably. If
you just want to get the content of some memory chunk: QEMU monitor, 'x'
(as known from gdb, see also qemu/qemu-doc.html). But modification
requires a gdb frontend again.
