I don't have teh TLS spec with me here..
I don't know if other architectures would make other requirements..

%gs on x86 'points' to a segment containing the KSE mailbox.
I'm not sure how we'd go on other architectures..
 maybe we end up doing it in reverse..
([TLS reg]->our_kse_mbox might be a pointer to the mailbox?)
