On a second thought, don't we have to make sure then that bit 5 is
ignored?

static void copy_pmcw_from_guest(PMCW *dest, const PMCW *src)
{
    int i;

    dest->intparm = be32_to_cpu(src->intparm);
    dest->flags = be16_to_cpu(src->flags);
    dest->devno = be16_to_cpu(src->devno);

Here we seem to grab flags as a whole, but actually we would have to
mask of bit 5.

I can spin a patch myself, provided we agree on that this needs to be
fixed, but, it would probably be better to have the two changes in one
patch.
