This is a followup to the thread that began at
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2011-11/msg00081.html>.

This patch fixes a bug where Emacs won't run correctly
under valgrind.  As Andreas mentioned, without the patch Emacs
probably isn't all that safe even when run outside of valgrind.

+       Standardize on VIRT_ADDR_VARIES behavior; otherwise, valgrind
+       does not work on some platforms.  Problem reported by Andreas Schwab in
+       <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2011-11/msg00081.html>.
+       * puresize.h (pure, PURE_P): Always behave as if VIRT_ADDR_VARIES
+       is set, removing the need for VIRT_ADDRESS_VARIES.
+       (PURE_P): Use a more-efficient implementation that needs just one
+       comparison, not two: on x86-64 with GCC 4.6.2, this cut down the
+       number of instructions from 6 (xorl, cmpq, jge, xorl, cmpq, setge)
+       to 4 (xorl, subq, cmpq, setbe).
+       * alloc.c (pure): Always extern now, since that's the
+       VIRT_ADDR_VARIES behavior.
+       (PURE_POINTER_P): Use a single comparison, not two, for
+       consistency with the new puresize.h.
+       * lisp.h (PNTR_COMPARISON_TYPE): Remove; no longer needed.
+       * m/ibms390.h, m/intel386.h, m/template.h, s/cygwin.h, s/hpux10-20.h:
+       Remove VIRT_ADDR_VARIES no longer needed.

No further comment and this does fix a bug
so I committed the fix into the trunk
as bzr 106440.
