The guest code has a fixed list of registers it reads blindly and we
skip the write for these so our expected value won't be something we
explicitly set.  The actual test is done here in the host code and it
seems both more maintainable to keep the skip adjacent to the live test
and clearer to be more explicit about nothing actually being tested.

Yes, I took this test from somewhere without thinking about it properly
- it's been so long I can't remember but it was clearly wrong in this
context.  I'll update.
