* Allocate a TLS block for a new thread. The memory allocated will
* include 'tcbsize' bytes aligned to a 'tcbalign' boundary (in bytes)
* for the thread library's private purposes. The location of the TCB
* block is returned by this function. For architectures using
* 'Variant I' TLS, the thread local storage follows the TCB, and for
* 'Variant II', the thread local storage precedes it. For
* architectures using the 'Variant II' model (e.g. i386, amd64,
* sparc64), the TCB must begin with two pointer fields which are used
* by rtld for its TLS implementation. For the 'Variant I' model, the
* TCB must begin with a single pointer field for rtld's
* implementation.
*
* If the value of 'oldtls' is non-NULL, the new TLS block will be
* initialised using the values contained in 'oldtls' and 'oldtls'
* will be freed. This is typically used when initialising a thread
* library to migrate from using the initial bootstrap TLS block
* created by rtld to one which contains suitable thread library
* private data.
*
* The value returned from this function is suitable for installing
* directly into the thread pointer register.
