b7e118b1e0 Remove declaration of _thr_initial from MD header file, it is no longer
needed.

7bd761788d Simplify _get_curthread() and _tcb_ctor because libc and rtld now
already allocate thread pointer space in tls block for initial thread.
Only i386 and amd64 have been done, others still have to be tested.

a364e127e3 Now libthr only uses GDT based tls on i386. using LDT can only increase
clock cycles and has 8191 threads limitation.

a091d823ad Import my recent 1:1 threading working. some features improved includes:
1. fast simple type mutex.
 2. __thread tls works.
 3. asynchronous cancellation works ( using signal ).
 4. thread synchronization is fully based on umtx, mainly, condition
    variable and other synchronization objects were rewritten by using
    umtx directly. those objects can be shared between processes via
    shared memory, it has to change ABI which does not happen yet.
 5. default stack size is increased to 1M on 32 bits platform, 2M for
    64 bits platform.
As the result, some mysql super-smack benchmarks show performance is
improved massivly.
