Can't assert, it's a QOM property; we could perhaps validate
earlier on in init, but that might be a bit painful to find a suitable
place to put it. extracting the low bits too seems a reasonable
compromise.

This is all IMPDEF anyway (and as you'll see from the next patch
A15's CBAR is RO too). R/W CBAR isn't an inherently dumb idea:
you could use it to make system designs where setting CBAR is
the responsibility of board-specific bootrom or firmware before
handoff to tho OS, for instance. Having the h/w hardwire it is
probably more robust though.
