set_fs() is older than some kernel hackers!

	$ cd linux-0.11/
	$ find . -type f -name '*.h' | xargs grep -e set_fs -w -n -A3
	./include/asm/segment.h:61:extern inline void set_fs(unsigned long val)
	./include/asm/segment.h-62-{
	./include/asm/segment.h-63-     __asm__("mov %0,%%fs"::"a" ((unsigned short) val));
	./include/asm/segment.h-64-}
