x86: add MAP_STACK mmap flag
as per this discussion: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/8/12/423 Pardo reported that 64-bit threaded apps, if their stacks exceed the combined size of ~4GB, slow down drastically in pthread_create() - because glibc uses MAP_32BIT to allocate the stacks. The use of MAP_32BIT is a legacy hack - to speed up context switching on certain early model 64-bit P4 CPUs. So introduce a new flag to be used by glibc instead, to not constrain 64-bit apps like this. glibc can switch to this new flag straight away - it will be ignored by the kernel. If those old CPUs ever matter to anyone, support for it can be implemented.
