Subject: [PATCH 5/6] KVM: emulate: activate memory access optimization

memory_prepare lets us replace segmented_read/segmented_write with direct
calls to __copy_from_user/__copy_to_user.

This saves about 70 cycles (15%) on arithmetic with a memory source
operand, and about 150 cycles (25%) on arithmetic with a memory
destination operand.
