Re: [PATCH 1/2] Include the fs_base and gs_base registers in amd64 target descriptions.

Some GDBserver uses these target description files, like
x86_64-*-mingw*, after this change, GDBserver will reply GDB the target
description including "64bit-segments.xml".  Then, GDB will request the
contents of 64bit-segments.xml from GDBserver, looks 64bit-segments.xml
is already builtin in GDBserver, so there isn't an issue here.

The patch is good to me.

P.S.  this is a good example to show the inflexibility in current target
description.  After we change it to my new approach of target
description, this change will be just two or three lines :)
