CPU: Set a default value when readBytes faults.

Browse source 
This was being done in read(), but if readBytes was called directly it
wouldn't happen. Also, instead of setting the memory blob being read to -1
which would (I believe) require using memset with -1 as a parameter, this now
uses bzero. It's hoped that it's more specialized behavior will make it
slightly faster.
