Yes. The segment prefix is the "nicer" solution due to not having any
segment wrap-around behaviour, but doing the strange offset is safer for a
2.0.x patch - I can't guarantee that %fs is always correct when this is
used (I can imagine people mucking around with set_fs() etc), but the
kernel segment is _certainly_ going to be correct.
