(In reply to yuri from comment #16)
I am not sure what 'mapped block of size 128K you mean.  A new thread gets
allocated the stack, which has 1M or 2M size, and struct pthread of size 640B
on 32bit arches.  I already proposed to put the keys table into the struct
pthread, which you did not liked.

I still think that making struct pthread and keys live together is the best
route if malloc() has to be avoided from pthread_setspecific().  I am also fine
with the mmap() patch, despite the fact that some portion of the whole page is
wasted.  I do not want to write a special allocator for this single purpose.
