... and then perhaps also for %fs (though I see there is no
hypercall for that, so this is going to be more complicated,
given that this happens in an assembly file), and perhaps
avoiding the two loads altogether if the selectors are zero
and their present values are also zero, to prevent trampling
on any base values in effect.
