get_tls() can serve as a lvalue as well, so 'get' might be confusing.

Note that this does not work for POSIX pthread_getspecific(), which
we'll need to support at some point in time, so I don't think this is a
terribly good idea.

At least please don't start actually using it as lvalue, we'd need a
set_tls() for assignment (in which case get_tls() would've provided nice
symmetry).

We already use it like this as TLS is not usable otherwise.

I don't mind get/set_tls, I just didn't like current get_tls(x) = bla.

I already posted the code for pthread_getspecific(), but it didn't work 
on OpenBSD.

The idea was to reserve a single pthread key and allocate a whole block 
of memory.  Then get_tls can use pthread_getspecific() and add an offset 
within the block of memory.  The reason is that with many allocated keys 
pthread_getspecific() becomes slower.
