I wonder whether we should log an LOG_GUEST_ERROR in that case since
this sounds like a problem in the guest ... ?

Looks sane ... (but IMHO code would be more readable though if it would
break out of the loop already earlier, as soon as it is clear that
bytes == 0, so that e.g. the pci_dma_read(..., 0) is not called at all).
