No, the idea is not to check that the GuC call has *enabled* each 
selected doorbell, but to check that after the end of the first loop, 
and the subsequent restore, all *other* doorbells have been *disabled*. 
We're only *selecting* each doorbell so that we can then *deselect* it 
as a side effect of selecting the next one!

Hence separate loop required ...
