because we have 2 stacks per thread: the regular downward
memory stack and the irregular upward register stack. This
implementation lets both stacks grow toward each other. An
alternative scheme is to have them grow away from each other.
The alternate scheme has the advantage that both stack grow
toward guard pages. Since libc_r is virtually dead and we
really want the *context stuff for thread switching, we don't
try to be perfect, just functional.
Both are atomic, but the cmpxchg has memory ordering hints. We
give this acquire semantics.
NOTE: The unlock in libc_r is implemented by a "normal" assign
statement. This is not correct on ia64 due to the memory ordering
characteristics of the architecture. We need release semantics
for an unlock.
descriptors that have the close-on-exec flag set, as that will have no
effect anyway and might screw something else up if the file descriptor
happens to be shared with another process.

completeness and doesn't get us a working libc_r there because libc_r
uses setjmp() and setjmp() cannot be used for context switches on ia64
as-is (or sparc64). Rather than making setjmp/longjmp behave like
the *context() calls, it would be far better to make libc_r use *context()
directly which is what they are for.
