webkit-gtk-2.2.5-ia64-malloc.patch

This patch is being applied for a long time on Debian and we also needed it on Gentoo for being able to *run* webkit-gtk stuff there

Thanks for accepting it

Dear Ramos:
   Could you explain the thread-unsafe code ? Which code of "fastmalloc" need threadsafty? 
   I want to know more details about thread-unsafe code 。
thank you

  In CPU(ARM) GTK platform ,I happen some crash about "fastmalloc"  in the pressure test. These backtrace of crash are differernt , but all happen in "fastmalloc" function .
Example :
