but what if we happen to transfer data end by 0x0,
here, will this device(QEMU0001) disappear?
(by this asl code snippet, I think it will)
so, if we transfer data(not 0x0) device appear,
then, it will disappear(if come across 0x0),
can this happen?
or should we use another status io port e.g.
0x506 to handle this condition?
