Make sure that we're moving or zeroing pointers atomically.
Anything that is a multiple of pointer size and at least
pointer aligned might have pointers in it. All the code looks
ok except for the 1-pointer-sized moves.

I removed support for jumping between functions years ago,
as part of doing the instruction layout for each function separately.
Given that, it makes sense to treat labels as function-scoped.
This lets each function have its own 'loop' label, for example.
Makes the assembly much cleaner and removes the last
reason anyone would reach for the 123(PC) form instead.
Note that this is on the dev.power64 branch, but it changes all
the assemblers. The change will ship in Go 1.5 (perhaps after
being ported into the new assembler).
Came up as part of CL 167730043.

The difference between the old and the new (from earlier) code
is that we set stackguard = stack.lo + StackGuard, while the old
code set stackguard = stack.lo. That 512 bytes appears to be
the difference between the profileloop function running and not running.
We don't know how big the system stack is, but it is likely MUCH bigger than 4k.
Give Go/C 8k.
