Use callbacks from x86_emulate_ops to access segments instead of calling

get_segment_base() is only one vmread on intel, but you replace it with reading the entire segment.

Why this ugliness?  get_cached_descriptor() should do this.


  static unsigned long seg_override_base(struct x86_emulate_ctxt *ctxt,
+				       struct x86_emulate_ops *ops,
  				       struct decode_cache *c)
  {
  	if (!c->has_seg_override)
  		return 0;

-	return seg_base(ctxt, c->seg_override);
+	return seg_base(ctxt, ops, c->seg_override);
  }

Sticking ops into ctxt would reduce the size of these patches.
