I'm not sure if this hunk is philosophically correct because the object
pointed to by __thread_self has to be within the same address space.  It
does not make a functional difference, of course.

The rest looks good.

This needs some sort of a changelog entry.  Listing only the changed
files is fine with me (but others may disagree and request a full
changelog).
