We also only really promise ABI stability for Tier 1.  Not that we should
gratuitously break the ABI for Tier 2, but we have done so in the past for
things like time_t.  I think we should MFC all the NO_TLS removals to 13
prior to 13.0 being actually released.  We don't produce release images for
either MIPS or RISC-V.
