Should have probably done that long ago when the TLS thing broke the ABI.
But.. did anyone do something similar before? I am wondering how many programs
may store data on disk in binary form without any consideration for CPU
alignment these days? Also, would we change the kernel and interfaces at the
same time? How about boot programs and similar?
