I'd vote for saying instead:

/* Don't use ALL_DEBUG_ADDRESS_REGISTERS here because
we want to skip over two registers at a time. */

Or better even, just don't skip two registers at a time?
The code is manually printing two columns on each iteration.
How about the patchlet below instead? I'd call it a clean up on
its own right.

Note this output is only shown with "maint set show-debug-regs on".
So with this, if someone cared for saving vertical space of the
debug output (I don't), this could be easily tweaked to adjust the number
of debug regs per line printed depending on screen width, for example.
Doing that with the current scheme of printing more than
one register with a single format string wouldn't work that well.
