I think the answer depends on whether len == 0 is valid for ccw. If not
we can fail the assign earlier. Since even without this patch, if
userspace tries to register a dev with len equals to zero, it will also
be registered to KVM_FAST_MMIO_BUS. If yes, we need check as you
suggested here.

Good catch. I think keep the original code as is will be also ok to
solve this. (with changing the bus_idx to KVM_FAST_MMIO_BUS during
registering if it was an wildcard mmio).
