The restriction doesn't bite you that hard when in flat mode, the mode
modern OSes run in most of the time. And you can manually work around it
to some degree by letting qemu dump the registers ("monitor info
registers") and doing some manual calculation, e.g. for offset-based
gs/fs addressing (per-CPU variable under Linux).
