I would say 'atomic' is wrong, you cannot access paged registers at
all.

I am. Anybody doing this level of debugging should be able to
recompile the kernel to enable write support. It does limit debugging
in field, where maybe you cannot recompile the kernel, but to me, that
is a reasonable trade off.
