+TCG: mov to segment register is incorrectly emulated for AMD CPUs
+
+In TCG mode, the effect of:
+
+xorl %eax, %eax
+movl %eax, %gs
+
+is to mark the GS segment unusable and set its base to zero.  After doing this, reading MSR_GS_BASE will return zero and using a GS prefix in long mode will treat the GS base as zero.
+
+This is correct for Intel CPUs but is incorrect for AMD CPUs.  On an AMD CPU, writing 0 to %gs using mov, pop, or (I think) lgs will leave the base unchanged.
+
+To make it easier to use TCG to validate behavior on different CPUs, please consider changing the TCG behavior to match actual CPU behavior when emulating an AMD CPU.
