    x86emul: correct stub invocation constraints again
    
    While the hypervisor side of commit cd91ab08ea ("x86emul: correct stub
    invocation constraints") was fine, the tools side triggered a bogus
    error with old gcc (4.3 and 4.4 at least). Use a slightly less
    appropriate variant instead, proven to be good enough to not
    re-introduce the original problem: Which of the addresses is actually
    used doesn't matter much as long as the compiler can't prove that the
    two pointers don't alias one another.
