Subject: [PATCH 08/11] KVM: x86 emulator: fix access registers for instructions with ModR/M byte and Mod = 3

From: Aurelien Jarno <aurelien@...el32.net>

The patch belows changes the access type to register from memory for
instructions that are declared as SrcMem or DstMem, but have a
ModR/M byte with Mod = 3.

It fixes (at least) the lmsw and smsw instructions on an AMD64 CPU,
which are needed for FreeBSD.
