Commit Message

In commit b88cfee90268cad we defined masks for the IBRD and FBRD
integer and fractional baud rate divider registers, to prevent the
guest from writing invalid values which could cause division-by-zero.
Unfortunately we got the mask values the wrong way around: the FBRD
register is six bits and the IBRD register is 16 bits, not
vice-versa.

You would only run into this bug if you programmed the UART to a baud
rate of less than 9600, because for 9600 baud and above the IBRD
value will fit into 6 bits, as per the table in
 https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0183/g/programmers-model/register-descriptions/fractional-baud-rate-register--uartfbrd

The only visible effects would be that the value read back from
the register by the guest would be truncated, and we would
print an incorrect baud rate in the debug logs.

Oops indeed, I didn't check this closely enough.
