Rather than returning ~0, return 0 for every register in case of
failure mode. The '0' is better to indicate that there's no device
there.

For most registers, 0 makes more sense. However, I wonder if we
shouldn't just fail to start qemu in this case...

Not convincing me this is 2.11 material either. Does this fix a specific bug?

Yes, SeaBIOS detects the ~0 when it probes and thinks there's a device 
there. It then hangs trying to set flags and read registers to be able 
to use the device.
