Hmm.  This isn't a bad idea at all.  Perhaps I should
adopt it for Alpha as well.  It's not too late...

At the moment Jakub has arranged for LinuxThreads to
have its _pthread_descr at the negative offsets from
the TP.  We can either continue with that (and have to
use an additional addis to access it), or we can use
the second word of the TCB to point to it.
