It is better to declare the @la as gva_t since the address is a virtual address.

Both @access and @flags provide additional informaiton about a memory access. I
think we can drop one of them e.g. adding a new bit X86EMUL_F_IMPLICIT_ACCESS.

Or maybe in the first place, we can just extend PFERR_? for SKIP_LASS/LAM
behavior instead of adding another set of flags (X86EMUL_F_?). The benefit of
adding new flags is they won't collide with future hardware extensions. I am not
sure.
