Even if the guest-visible behavior doesn't matter, Valgrind won't like
this. ldq_be_dma() reads from uninitialized stack memory:
#define DEFINE_LDST_DMA(_lname, _sname, _bits, _end) \
static inline uint##_bits##_t ld##_lname##_##_end##_dma(AddressSpace *as, \
dma_addr_t addr) \
{ \
uint##_bits##_t val; \
dma_memory_read(as, addr, &val, (_bits) / 8); \
return _end##_bits##_to_cpu(val); \
}
Bad QEMU, bad userspace process :).
I think we really need to check the error and at least return early.

That's fine because it's not a random address - it's the address that
the guest gave us.
