FWIW, I have one in my tree that qemu_log(LOG_GUEST_ERROR's such
accesses that I use for unimplemented devices. It's worthwhile to trap
such accesses and speaking for the Xilinx LQSPI case, my preference is
for some form of failure rather than silent write-ignore. And can we
have an option where a invalid writes have consistent behavior with
unassigned accesses?
