NUMA-aware tcmalloc

[Howard Chu <hyc@symas.com>]

For those of you running multi-socket Opteron servers (and eventually, 
multi-socket Nehalem servers), AMD published a whitepaper last week on their 
work adapting Google's tcmalloc to be NUMA-aware. The whitepaper includes 
links to their source code / diffs. It appears to be quite a performance boost 
in their (very artificial) benchmark. I'll be trying it out soon myself.
