Yes, separate structure seems to be a way forward.

FWIW, I do not understand the need for pcb in its current form, allocated
on the thread kernel stack, at all.  It looks like a vestige of the
u-area, but serves no real purpose except to consume now precious stack
space.

The idea of the part of the thread state that can be swapped out, together
with the stack, seems to become alien.  Most of the thread state which is
not needed when the thread is not runnable, now goes to struct thread
anyway.  Might be, we should move the pcb into td_md.  People actively
object to the idea of the swappable kernel stack when they learn
hard that local vars cannot participate in the global lists.

The only thing which is currently allocated below the pcb and which
seems to be reasonable to swap out, is the FPU context on amd64.
