Did anything ever come of this?

I don't have much in the way of comments. The amount of new code in
sysdeps/arm/tlsdesc.c seems excessive; I don't see anything
ARM-specific about it, so perhaps it should have been part of the
libc-generic bits, or reused directly from sysdeps/i386/. There are
a few coding style problems, but I'm not going to go through them
until the basic idea is accepted for the libc generic pieces.
