I would speculate that if you have a memory view window pointed at a
bank of MMIO registers, you may already be in bad straits. A
significant portion of MMIO registers are active on read.
Well, yes, but MMIO is just one type of MMR.
BTW, the context for my inquiry was strictly the memory view
window. For other views (registers), I believe the debugger backed
can just "do the right thing" based memory configuration and register
description files.
