Avoid address_space_rw() with a constant is_write argument
The address_space_rw() function allows either reads or writes
depending on the is_write argument passed to it; this is useful
when the direction of the access is determined programmatically
(as for instance when handling the KVM_EXIT_MMIO exit reason).
Under the hood it just calls either address_space_write() or
address_space_read_full().

We also use it a lot with a constant is_write argument, though,
which has two issues:
 * when reading "address_space_rw(..., 1)" this is less
   immediately clear to the reader as being a write than
   "address_space_write(...)"
 * calling address_space_rw() bypasses the optimization
   in address_space_read() that fast-paths reads of a
   fixed length
