The current CPU's TSS base is a foregone conclusion, so there's no need to parse it out of the segment tables. This should save a couple cycles (as STR is surely microcoded and poorly optimized) but, more importantly, it's a cleanup and it means that segment_base() will never be called on 64-bit kernels.
