When the old value and new one are the same the emulator skips the write; this is undesirable when the destination is a MMIO area and the write shall be performed regardless of the previous value. This optimization breaks e.g. a Linux guest APIC compiled without X86_GOOD_APIC. Remove the check and perform the writeback stage in the emulation unless it's explicitly disabled (currently push and some 2 bytes instructions may disable the writeback).
