I think it just needs support in all of those cases for the tls immediate type (for example your test would have still failed in kernel mode).  I've gone ahead and added that in r106433 and it passes the testcase in a few different codegen modes, but don't have any way of testing on linux at the moment so if you can test the codegen that would be appreciated.

Thanks!
