It looks like we should think about how to redesign BVARs and KVARs so
that it should be suitable both for GC and concurrency development.

Look at the size of changes I did just for a few days. This is just a
preliminary changes needed to implement write barriers on top of them.
Each pointer store is a subject to handle; most probably each source
file will be affected. I suppose that new GC tree will look so different
so the final merge will be a tremendous task on a few weeks. So I'm
thinking about 2-stage approach: preliminary work is in trunk (where
it might be used for concurrency branch and other development), and
new GC (barriers and core GC bits) is in branch.
