Memory reads and writes is surely going to generate a huge
amount of output!

There are various DEBUG_* symbols at the top of exec.c and ioport.c.
I've only used a few of these:

  DEBUG_UNASSIGNED - prints a message when an unmapped page is
      referenced (TCG only, presumably?)

  DEBUG_IOPORT - prints a message when any I/O port is referenced

  DEBUG_UNUSED_IOPORT - prints a message when a non-emulated I/O port
      is referenced

There are several more if you look at the code.
