It looks like you lost the check for 0xFFFFFFFF specifically.  In fact
with a mask/value of 0, isn't this always going to just always pass
immediately?

We don't know what the value of this register will be (there may or may
not be some bits set), but we need to make sure that it isn't 0xFFFFFFFF
because that means we're not even truly accessing the register, just
hitting a PCI BAR read failure.
