Sorry, I don't get it. Choosing segment from x86_64_uarea is done before
calling regset->set and regset->get as well as before zero-filling. No
segment for u_debugreg[4] and [5] means -EIO before segment handlers
will have a chance to be called.

Do you want to consolidate these two?

{offsetof(struct user, u_debugreg[0]), offsetof(struct user, u_debugreg[4]), 3, 0},
{offsetof(struct user, u_debugreg[6]), offsetof(struct user, u_debugreg[8]), 3, 6 * sizeof(long)},
