    x86/emul: Fix the decoding of segment overrides in 64bit mode
    
    Explicit segment overides other than %fs and %gs are documented as ignored 
by
    both Intel and AMD.
    
    In practice, this means that:
    
     * Explicit uses of %ss don't actually yield #SS[0] for non-canonical
       memory references.
     * Explicit uses of %{e,c,d}s don't override %rbp/%rsp-based memory 
references
       to yield #GP[0] for non-canonical memory references.
