TLS depends on the CPU: if the cpu doesn't support conditional moves (cmov,
an optionial 686 family of opcodes), tls doesn't work.

As the passive-coolable VIA Ezra family CPUs (which are used quite often in
home-brewed STBs, one stands under my tv set ;) ) don't supports cmov, being
able to run VDR without tls is quite important ;)
