I see, thanks. Your commit message was confusing to me, because unlike
__syscall_ret and the like, __tls_get_addr is not an internal helper,
it may not have hidden visibility anywhere except s390. So it felt like
the commit message was drawing a false parallel.

I would love this to land with a clearer commit message, but that's up
to Rich and yourself to sort out.
