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.

Looks very reasonable. Stefen, did you want to handle getting this into
CVS, or would you like me to do it?
