Re: LWP private support / TLS support

Would you like console (and RCM/SRM) access to a DS10L for
testing?

I probably have some other Alpha platforms around here (much
older) that could be made available as well.

- (1) Call PAL_wdunique in cpu_switchto to ensure that the value is

- (2) Remove the #if 0 around __HAVE___LWP_GETPRIVATE_FAST in types.h.

- After a rebuild of libpthread, the ATF test cases for libpthread should
- still work.
