Do you think we need to cover a few more architectures before
considering merging this, or should we just fix them up as we need them?
I think doing a part of job is usually bad as it never gets fixed fully then :/

I'm working on a patch to unify as many of the alloc_thread_info()
functions as I can. That should at least give you one place to modify
and track the thread_info allocations. I've only compiled for x86_64
and i386, but I'm working on more. A preliminary version is attached.
Oh, I think such code unification is nice!
Would be perferct if all of them could be merged to some generic
function. Please, keep me on CC!

Thanks,
Kirill
