[DGD] Melville under the Kernel Lib

[Michael McKiel]

I feel I have somewhat of a grip (albeit perhaps a vague one in a few places)
on the process and how to go about it, and what the KLib and Melville are
each doing. All except for the Thread Local Storage bit.
I grep for it, and look over the lib/api/tls.c ... and all its functions
while again actually defined in the driver itself -- are never actually used.
The only ones that appear to get called all thru the Kernel Lib is
query_tls_size(), along with allocates. And Melville doesn't even use TLS at
all. This is also one thing I couldn't find much resource for in the
archives. I know a description was given here, but I don't quite "get it" :)
So what I'm wondering is why are there so many tlvar functions that are never
used...what instances might require them to be ? 
And what does the current Melville "lose" from not using TLS at all?
