Most of the discussions in the psABI describe dynamic TLS. 
As I emphasized in the first post in this thread, step 1
is about implementing the static TLS model. There's hardly
any reference to that in the psABI, other than the access
sequence from which it is implied that the thread pointer
points to the TLS (with an offset of -16).
