[PATCH 0/5] Consolidate the insb/outsb emulation into x86_emulate.c

From the TODO, this serie of patches consolidates the insb/outsb emulation into
x86_emulate.c.

The prefix decoding part is extracted from x86_emulate_memop() and a function
called x86_decode_prefix() is created.
Then, in vmx.c, handle_io() calls x86_decode_prefix() instead of get_io_count();
in svm.c, io_interception() calls x86_decode_prefix() instead of io_address()
and io_get_override().

*** WARNING: the SVM part has not been tested because I don't have any AMD
system. ***

[PATCH 1/5] x86_ctxt_segment_array: to be able to extract easily prefix decoding
from x86_emulate_memop(), change ctxt.*_base to an array ctxt.base[X86EMUL_BASE_*]

[PATCH 2/5] x86_prefix: to be able to extract easily prefix decoding from
x86_emulate_memop(), group all prefix decoding results in a structure, called
x86_prefix.

[PATCH 3/5] x86_decode_prefix: extract prefix decoding part from
x86_emulate_memop() to x86_decode_prefix().

[PATCH 4/5] vmx-decode_prefix: vmx.c uses x86_decode_prefix() instead of
get_io_count().

[PATCH 5/5] svm-decode_prefix: svm.c uses x86_decode_prefix() instead of
io_address() and io_get_override().

*** WARNING: the SVM part has not been tested because I don't have any AMD
system. ***
