SubjectRe: [RFC/PATCH] Make powerpc64 use __thread for per-cpu variables

How do you plan to address the compiler optimizing

__thread int foo;
{
use(foo);
schedule();
use(foo);
}

into

{
int *tmp = &foo; // tls arithmetic here
use(*tmp);
schedule();
use(*tmp);
}

Across the schedule, we may have changed cpus, making the cached
address invalid.
