Again, sorry for the huge delay on this.

I've merged a modified version of this to master as of
8d0f41e021b3475a411371cf87b81ae4af763eca.

I've ended up just dumping out the whole chunk of memory to feed
directly into extract-gcov.c code, and I've tested this to work on a
couple of P9 machines. With some work-in-progress op-test-framework
code, this is getting really close to 100% automatable code coverage
gathering!

Thanks heaps for the patch and sorry again it took so long to look at,
test and merge!
