The most immediately obvious problem is that it's not initialized
and you're only copying size bytes of data into an 8 byte wide
type. Worse, as Richard suggests, on big-endian CPUs you're
writing into the upper half of the variable, so when the caller
truncates it to 32 bits for a guest CPU word access it will
throw away the data completely.

This isn't how the DEVICE_*_ENDIAN work. Memory region
read/write callbacks always return their values in host-CPU
byte order (ie "return 0x87654321;" returns a value whose
least significant byte is 0x21). The DEVICE_*_ENDIAN fields
are then used to correctly convert that host-endian value into
whatever the CPU needs to see (ie if your CPU is
TARGET_WORDS_BIGENDIAN and the device is
DEVICE_LITTLE_ENDIAN the memory codepath
will insert one bswap operation of the appropriate size).
