What about moving this block all the way into init_emulate_ctxt()?

This can be left where it is since ctxt->ud is consumed only by x86_decode_insn().
I don't have a strong preference as it really only matters for the backport.  For
upstream, we can kill it off in a follow-up patch by passing emulation_type to
x86_decode_insn() and dropping ctxt->ud altogether.  Tracking that info in ctxt
for literally one call is silly.
