The idea was to clear all the event logs. I think this made more sense before
the addition of the optional dynamic capacity log.

An empty log does not cause any issue. The query will simply return 0 records
which is valid.

Likely the hardware does not have the dynamic capacity log and so the code is
asking for something invalid. I did not think of that when I added that new
log. Checking status register looks to be the proper solution.

I'll throw in some testing in QEMU for this. I'll also have to implement the
status register in QEMU to fully test.

Thanks for the testing! :-D
