Returning a literal number is a bad idea anyway when all other returns
use IOREQ_STATUS_* values. The function is dead on Arm, and mapping to
X86EMUL_OKAY is surely wrong on x86.

Shouldn't IOREQ_READ requests also be rejected here, for the result of
a read not possibly coming from anywhere, yet a (bogus) caller then
assuming some data was actually returned?

ioreq_send_buffered() being built on Arm is a violation of Misra rule
2.1, which apparently Eclair doesn't flag (the rule is marked clean).
