 TH> What is the purpose of the FS and GS registers?
The Farout and Groovy Segments exist solely to keep people wondering what
their purpose is. And what their names mean. However, if you actually load
a value into them, your CPU will explode. At the very least.
Actually, they're a bit like ES: non-dedicated segment registers.
