[PATCH] xmon command for symbol lookups

[Olof Johansson]

One of the most crippling drawbacks (for me) with xmon is that you need
a System.map to lookup all addresses in when you're digging through
disassembly.

The attached patch adds a new command, "n <address>" that will show the
corresponding symbol in the same way that the "t" command does.

It also fixes another thing that's irritated me before: xmon doesn't
take values in 0x<hex> form, only <hex>.

Another enhancement would be to simply print the symbol as a comment
behind the address when doing disasm, but that would make the output
wider than 80 characters. Does anyone have problems with that or should
I add that as well?


Thanks,

Olof
