On the next return from the syscall, or on the next context switch, the bases are overwritten with the values supplied by the sysarch({AMD64,I386}_SET_{F,G}SBASE). I enabled the CR4 bit to make the read instruction accessible to usermode, but write base requires additional code. Since it would lead to at least one more branch in the doreti path, I did not implemented this.
