Thanks for remind me.  We cannot get the value of each segment
register, but we can get each segment register point to.  So if the
value of segment registers, it's means that the value of them is same.

I add some code about it:
          regcache_raw_read_unsigned (ir.regcache,
                                      ir.regmap[X86_RECORD_ES_REGNUM],
                                      &es);
          regcache_raw_read_unsigned (ir.regcache,
                                      ir.regmap[X86_RECORD_DS_REGNUM],
                                      &ds);
          if (ir.aflag && (es != ds))
            {

After that, we will not get the warning because the es is same with ds
in user level.

What do you think about it?

Thanks,
Hui
