This is wrong, reg_write() confusingly returns a pointer the register to be written,
it doesn't actually do the write. So if we want to guard against array overflow,
it would be better to cap @nr and continue on, i.e. assume some higher bit was
spuriously set.

The other oddity here is that VCPU_REGS_RIP should never be read, the RIP relative
code reads _eip directly. I.e. _regs[] should really be VCPU_REGS_R15+1. And
adding a #define for that would clean up this bit of code in writeback_registers()
that hardcodes 16 (rax - r15) GPRs:

for_each_set_bit(reg, (ulong *)&ctxt->regs_dirty, 16)
ctxt->ops->write_gpr(ctxt, reg, ctxt->_regs[reg]);

Lastly, casting regs_dirty to an unsigned long pointer is all kinds of gross, e.g.
if it were moved to the end of struct x86_emulate_ctxt then the above could trigger
an out-of-bounds read.

I'll whip up a small series to clean this code up and add WARNs similar to above.
