The IA32 ptrace emulation currently returns the wrong registers for
fs/gs; it's returning what x86_64 calls gs_base. We need regs.gsindex
in order for GDB to correctly locate the TLS area. Without this patch,
the 32-bit GDB testsuite bombs on a 64-bit kernel. With it, results
look about like I'd expect, although there are still a handful of
kernel-related failures (vsyscall related?).
