The question then is whether it's better to leave tp pointing at the
TCB, allowing one instruction offsets for 32K of the first thread
storage block and the _pthread_descr (I'm assuming that it's fixed in
size and less than 32K in size), or offset the tp allowing an optimum
instruction sequence for 64K of the first thread storage block?
