I think directly using tlv_get_addr may lead to weird errors if 
thread local descriptors have not been initialized by runtime.  
With __tls_get_addr there is a check that descriptor is 
initialized, and if I get around to changing llvm to call thunk 
directly, then uninitialized descriptor will have thunk set to 
_tlv_bootstrap and code will cleanly abort.
