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.
