Do we really need a full function call for this simple thing? Just because
this horrible CamelCase constant is in emulate.c?

What's wrong with moving that thing into a header and make it a trivial
inline:

#define INS_STRING		(1 << 13)

static inline bool emulator_is_string_op(struct x86_emulate_ctxt *ctxt)
{
	return ctxt->d & INS_STRING;
}

Hmm?
