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-}
