[PATCH] x86_emulate fix

[David Lively <dlively@virtualiron.com>]

The x86_emulate code uses the _PRE_EFLAGS macro to setup eflags
immediately before executing (an emulated version of) the instruction.
But _PRE_EFLAGS ends in a "andl" instruction, which clobbers the real
eflags we've just carefully set up.  This fix simply leaves the new
eflags value on the stack until the final "popf" into eflags.
