Because bikeshedding is fun, what do you think about using fs_base and
kernel_gs_base for these names? I have a series that touches this
code and also adds local variables for {FS,GS}.base and {FS,GS}.sel.
I used {fs,gs}_base and {fs,gs}_sel to be consistent with the
vmx->host_state nomenclature (the local variables are used to update
the associated vmx->host_state variables), but I'll change my patches
if you have a strong preference for omitting the underscore.
