The cadence UART attempts to avoid allowing the guest to set invalid
baud rate register values in the uart_write() function.  However it
does the "mask to the size of the register field" and "check for
invalid values" in the wrong order, which means that a malicious
guest can get a bogus value into the register by setting also some
high bits in the value, and cause QEMU to crash by division-by-zero.

Do the mask before the bounds check instead of afterwards.
