To be consistent with the write and rmw cases the mapping approach
should not be used when the guest linear address translation is known.
This in particular excludes the discard-write case from bypassing the
emulation path. This also means that now EFLAGS should actually get
properly updated, despite the discarded write portion of the memory
access.
