Unfortunately, gdb refuses to cough up the value of p:

Starting program: /usr/bin/qemu -cdrom /opt/iso/w2k.iso -boot d w2k.img
 
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

840         tb->page_addr[n] = page_addr;
841         p = page_find(page_addr >> TARGET_PAGE_BITS);
842         tb->page_next[n] = p->first_tb;
843         last_first_tb = p->first_tb;
844         p->first_tb = (TranslationBlock *)((long)tb | n);
845         invalidate_page_bitmap(p);
846
(gdb) print p
No symbol "p" in current context.

I assume it got "optimized away" because of compilation flag -O2; again,
unfortunately, the code refuses to compile without that flag. Tricky
stuff...

To answer your other question, according to gdb:
(gdb) print sizeof(unsigned int)
$1 = 4
(gdb) print sizeof(PageDesc*)
$2 = 8
(gdb) print sizeof(l1_map)
$3 = 8192
(gdb) print sizeof(l1_map) / sizeof(PageDesc*)
$4 = 1024

When compiling, there are many warnings about "cast from pointer to
integer of different size" and "cast to pointer from integer of
different size" which makes me highly suspicious about 64-bit
compatibility of the code.
