Update the emulation mode when handling writes to CR0, because toggling CR0.PE switches between Real and Protected Mode, and toggling CR0.PG when EFER.LME=1 switches between Long and Protected Mode.
This is likely a benign bug because there is no writeback of state, other than the RIP increment, and when toggling CR0.PE, the CPU has to execute code from a very low memory address.
