Yes, it is a bit, umm, innovative. If it is going to be kept, even if
just for devel logging, you should disable interrupts around it.
Changing segments is not a normal thing to do.
Actually that wouldn't be needed because interrupts are not allowed to do any
user accesses. And contrary to the name it doesn't actually change
the segment registers, only state used by *_user.
My bad, I fell for the same mistake as everyone. Set_fs is just way too
confusing of a name now. But good to know interrupts must be disable in
such a circumstance.
