Subject: ptrace: make {put,get}reg work again for gs and fs
From: Frederik Deweerdt <deweerdt@xxxxxxx>
Following the i386 pda patches, it's not possible to set gs or fs value from
gdb anymore. When you use gdb/ptrace to modify %fs, the value gets written in
the wrong place.
The patch restores the old behaviour of getting and setting thread.gs of
thread.fs respectively.
