Most code gives a pointer to an uninitialized unsigned long as dest in
emulate_pop. len is usually the word width of the guest.
If the guest runs in 16-bit or 32-bit modes, len will not cover the
whole unsigned long and we end up with uninitialized data in dest.
Looking through the callers of this function, the issue seems
harmless, but given that none of this is performance critical, there
should be no issue with just always initializing the whole value.
Even though popa is not reachable in 64-bit mode, I've changed its val
variable to unsigned long too to avoid sad copy'n'paste bugs.
