/* Thread's initial stack layout on the VAX:
non-varargs:
+---
| arg[2] === `userf' on startup
| arg[1] === `pt' on startup
| arg[0] === `pu' on startup
| ... === `only' on startup.
+---
| ret pc === `qt_start' on startup
| fp === 0 on startup
| ap === 0 on startup
| <mask>
| 0 (handler) <--- qt_t.sp
+---
When a non-varargs thread is started, it ``returns'' to the start
routine, which calls the client's `only' function.
The varargs case is clearly bad code. The various values should be
stored in a save area and snarfed in to callee-save registers on
startup. However, it's too painful to figure out the register
mask (right now), so do it the slow way.
+---
| arg[n-1]
| ..
| arg[0]

When a varargs thread is started, it ``returns'' to the `qt_vstart'
startup code. The startup code pops all the extra arguments, then
calls the appropriate functions. */
