Hmmm, my main issue is that this version doesn't have a return
statement, which probably triggers a gcc warning with ARCH=arm and also
might cause arm (32bit) kvm to exit upon handling mmio return when we
don't want to.

Otherwise, I also wondered about using a bool here. But following the
pre-existing logic makes sense to me (but I have no strong feeling about
it).

Yes, sounds good.

Thanks,
