Just a little opinion: Perhaps has_tls_reg would be a clearer name.
All variants "have TLS" after all.

Also - and this isn't directly related to your change so feel free to
ignore it - wouldn't it make more sense for the tls_emu case to use
the memory version (and update the memory location), so that even on
tls_emu systems, user programs which call the kuser code will run faster?
With that change, there would be no real penalty to enabling tls_emu
for any system that finds it useful.
