/// An x86 segment
///
/// Segment registers on x86 are 16-bit [`SegmentSelector`]s, which index into
/// the [`GlobalDescriptorTable`]. The corresponding GDT entry is used to
/// configure the segment itself. Note that most segmentation functionality is
/// disabled in 64-bit mode. See the individual segments for more information.
/// An x86 segment which is actually used in 64-bit mode
///
/// While most segments are unused in 64-bit mode, the FS and GS segments are
/// still partially used. Only the 64-bit segment base address is used, and this
/// address can be set via the GDT, or by using the `FSGSBASE` instructions.
/// Specifies which element to load into a segment from
/// descriptor tables (i.e., is a index to LDT or GDT table
/// with some additional flags).
///
/// See Intel 3a, Section 3.4.2 "Segment Selectors"
;
/// Code Segment
///
/// While most fields in the Code-Segment [`Descriptor`] are unused in 64-bit
/// long mode, some of them must be set to a specific value. The
/// [`EXECUTABLE`](DescriptorFlags::EXECUTABLE),
/// [`USER_SEGMENT`](DescriptorFlags::USER_SEGMENT), and
/// [`LONG_MODE`](DescriptorFlags::LONG_MODE) bits must be set, while the
/// [`DEFAULT_SIZE`](DescriptorFlags::DEFAULT_SIZE) bit must be unset.
///
/// The [`DPL_RING_3`](DescriptorFlags::DPL_RING_3) field can be used to change
/// privilege level. The [`PRESENT`](DescriptorFlags::PRESENT) bit can be used
/// to make a segment present or not present.
///
/// All other fields (like the segment base and limit) are ignored by the
/// processor and setting them has no effect.
;
/// Stack Segment
///
/// Entirely unused in 64-bit mode; setting the segment register does nothing.
/// However, in ring 3, the SS register still has to point to a valid
/// [`Descriptor`] (it cannot be zero). This
/// means a user-mode read/write segment descriptor must be present in the GDT.
///
/// This register is also set by the `syscall`/`sysret` and
/// `sysenter`/`sysexit` instructions (even on 64-bit transitions). This is to
/// maintain symmetry with 32-bit transitions where setting SS actually will
/// actually have an effect.
;
/// Data Segment
///
/// Entirely unused in 64-bit mode; setting the segment register does nothing.
;
/// ES Segment
///
/// Entirely unused in 64-bit mode; setting the segment register does nothing.
;
/// FS Segment
///
/// Only base is used in 64-bit mode, see [`Segment64`]. This is often used in
/// user-mode for Thread-Local Storage (TLS).
;
/// GS Segment
///
/// Only base is used in 64-bit mode, see [`Segment64`]. In kernel-mode, the GS
/// base often points to a per-cpu kernel data structure.
