Perform !guest_visible memory accesses without modifying R/C bits.

It's arguable whether !guest_visible memory accesses should modify
R/C bits. i386 seems to set accessed/dirty bit updates for "probe"
accesses, but ppc with radix MMU does not. Follow the ppc/radix
lead and perform the accesses without updating R/C bits.

Are these unlikely() ? Not sure if that makes a difference but if we know 
it may help some compilers.
