Cool! For the x86 bits:

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-}
What is this strange %fs register you are talking about.
Figure 2-4 only has CS, DS, SS and ES.
Intel added registers FS and GS in the i386
