For partial writes the non-written parts of registers are folded into
the full 64-bit value from what they're presently set to. That's wrong
to do though when the behavior is write-1-to-clear: Writes not
including to low 3 bits would unconditionally clear all ISR bits which
are presently set. Re-calculate the value to use.

Alternatively we could also suppress the folding in of read bits, but
that looked to me to end up in a more intrusive change.
