/*
 * Allocate thread stacks
 *
 * The Plan 9 virtual address allocator works from the highest address below
 * the bottom of the user stack downwards. That is:
 * 	(0x0) | TTTT             ...SSSUUU | KKKKKK | (~0x0)
 *
 * Each thread stack is flanked by two red zones, each one page, immediately
 * above and below. We bypass the virtual address allocator by requesting 
 * stacks and redzones at specific addresses.
 *
 * To allocate the first thread stack, we call segattach(SG_NONE...) and use
 * the address returned by the VM as a 'base' for the red zones. We then
 * allocate a red zone prior to the start of the thread stack, followed by 
 * the stack itself:
 *	(0x0) | TTTT		....RSRUUU | KKKKKK | (~0x0)
 *
 * Subsequent thread stack allocations are at lower addresses, reusing the 
 * lower redzone of an adjacent thread stack if possible.
 *
 * We keep an address-ordered list of redzones; on stack allocation, we scan
 * the space between unused redzones for a hole, before attempting to allocate
 * a new one.
 *
 * Stack frees release the pages backing the stack but not the redzones, unless
 * we free the lowest stack.
