I've read through and I like it, FWIW. A brilliant idea. I don't have
the hardare to test the patch, though....
But I do wonder if you aren't missing an empty mask protection
somewhere? If I read this right, then there is nothing preventing you
from writing 0 here:

And then I believe you have a busy loop here:

Or am I reading this wrong?
