While the hypervisor side of commit
cd91ab08ea ("x86emul: correct stub
invocation constraints") was fine, the tools side triggered a bogus
error with old gcc (4.3 and 4.4 at least). Use a slightly less
appropriate variant instead, proven to be good enough to not
re-introduce the original problem: Which of the addresses is actually
used doesn't matter much as long as the compiler can't prove that the
two pointers don't alias one another.
