Why %rax, %rsp, %rbp, %rflags cannot be set in inregs?

%rax because trapping instruction uses it? Use one that does not use
register at all: MOV r/m32, imm32 

%rsp and %rbp because of ret on instruction page? Use the same trick
realmode.c test uses: have the code that sets/saves registers in
insn_page/alt_insn_page itself and copy the instruction you want to test
into the page itself instead of doing call.

Not sure what is so special about %rflags.
