In 2nd Edition Plan 9, Alef allocated some private memory in what
seems like arbitrary locations on the i386, Mips and Sparc
architectures.

I can't find either an equivalent private allocation for the C
compiler, nor a clarification as to how this works for Alef.  Can
someone explain quite how this private allocation works, how it
interacts with the underlying system?  Specially if it is different
in 3rd Edition Plan 9?

Thanks.
