Hi; Coverity points out a problem with this code (CID 1540008, 1540009):

flags is a target_ulong, which means it might only be 32 bits.
But H_GUEST_GETSET_STATE_FLAG_GUEST_WIDE has a bit set in the
upper 32 bits only. So Coverity complains about this condition
being always-zero and the body of the if being dead code.

What was the intention here?
