Really ~0 and not ~0ULL ? In any case this shouldn't need
initializing as we will always set it later.

Shouldn't this be a LOG_GUEST_ERROR ?

Why not just "else {" ?

This will silently affect bits of the register outside the
specified size with clear-on-read or other "reads have
side effects" behaviour, which isn't consistent with how
we handle writes.
