  To: avi, mtosatti; +Cc: kvm, yoshikawa.takuya, gleb

From: Takuya Yoshikawa <yoshikawa.takuya@oss.ntt.co.jp>

This stops "CMP r/m, reg" to write back the data into memory.
Pointed out by Avi.

The writeback suppression now covers CMP, CMPS, SCAS.

 Changelog v1->v2: moved the line just after the cmp label.

From: Takuya Yoshikawa <yoshikawa.takuya@oss.ntt.co.jp>

PUSH emulation stores the value by calling writeback() after setting
the dst operand appropriately in emulate_push().

This writeback() using dst is not needed at all because we know the
target is the stack.  So this patch makes emulate_push() call, newly
introduced, segmented_write() directly.

By this, many inlined writeback()'s are removed.

From: Takuya Yoshikawa <yoshikawa.takuya@oss.ntt.co.jp>

em_push() is a simple wrapper of emulate_push().  So this patch replaces
emulate_push() with em_push() and removes the unnecessary former.

In addition, the unused ops arguments are removed from emulate_pusha()
and emulate_grp45().

Patchset looks good, nice cleanup.
