hmm, as this is one of the GuC scratch registers used for H2G MMIO
communication, writing 0 there might be interpreted by the GuC as new
request with action=0 and might results in extra processing/logging on
GuC side, and, since from here we don't protect access to this register
by send_mutex, we can corrupt other MMIO message being prepared from
different thread, ... can't we use other register ?
