Attached is a simpler patch, after some feedback from Stefan over general niceness.
It removes the amd64 special case by splitting the target member (an array of struct sym_tcb) of sym_hcb out into a separately allocated structure. This way there is never a need to allocate anything bigger than a page and the whole problem goes away with minimal change, less wasted memory and fewer outright hacks. I did spend some time looking at ripping out the custom allocator entirely, and got as far as it building and one of the cache tests failing. I don't think I'm going to spend the time to track down why; if anyone wants to pick it up then let me know. Regards, Jan Mikkelsen
