// This is mainly used to represent TLS.
// OpaquePointer does not provide any method for dereferencing, as we should not dereference it in MMTk.
// However, there are occurrences that we may need to dereference tls in the VM binding code.
// In JikesRVM's implementation of ActivePlan, we need to dereference tls to get mutator and collector context.
// This is done by transmute (unsafe).
