    x86emul: fully ignore segment override for register-only operations
    
    For ModRM encoded instructions with register operands we must not
    overwrite ea.mem.seg (if a - bogus in that case - segment override was
    present) as it aliases with ea.reg.
    
    This is CVE-2015-2151 / XSA-123.
