Commit Message

This libgo patch by Than McIntosh build a GC roots index to speed up
write barrier processing in bulkBarrierPreWrite and elsewhere.  The GC
roots index is basically a sorted list of all roots, so as to allow
more efficient lookups of gcdata structures for globals.  The previous
implementation worked on the raw (unsorted) roots list itself, which
did not scale well.  Bootstrapped and ran Go testsuite on
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.  Committed to mainline.
