to point at libmap.conf(5). This will help answer questions about what
and why it is, although not in great detail.

MFC after: 1 week
MFC note: When MFC'd, don't MFC mention of work not yet MFC'd.
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.

On ia64, where there's no libc_r at all, libkse is now the default
thread library by virtue of these links.
The reasons for this change are:
1. libkse is slated to become the default thread library anyway,
2. active development and maintenance is only present for libkse,
3. GNOME and KDE, both in the process of being supported on ia64,
work better with KSE; even on ia64.
breakages. Note that runtime compatibility is not guaranteed. Future
changes to setjmp/longjmp in libc will break threaded applications
linked against libc_r.so.5 on ia64. We pull our "tier 2" card once
more...
