On an MMIO access, we always copy the on-stack buffer info
the shared "run" structure, even if this is a read access.
This ends up leaking up to 8 bytes of uninitialized memory
into userspace.
I think it only leaks 'len' bytes to userspace ;)

An obvious fix for this one is to only perform the copy if
this is an actual write.

Thanks. I've pushed this onto master, with a view of sending a PR to
Paolo this evening (hopefully the last one for this cycle).
