Per the Intel SDM (Vol 3, 15.2), writing an MMX register also sets bits
64-79 of the aliased x87 register to all 1s. gen_writeback() never
does this for X86_OP_MMX destinations, so those bits keep whatever
the x87 side left there (e.g. 0 after finit/fldz). A later x87
instruction such as fucomi/fucomip can then read a stale finite
value where real hardware guarantees a NaN encoding, changing
comparison results and flags.

Set the high 16 bits to 0xffff when writing back to a MMX register (not
memory).
