rethought it a little and I think I understand now...

I think simple reloading the segment thats used for TLS (which one is it?)
on fbsd@amd64 should do the trick. what do you think?

so instead of rewriting just the base address we reload the whole
segment. that should not be that hard. but I dont understand the connection
between fs/gs and the segment. is it that reloading fs_base resets
the base in the segment the fs points at?
