Considering that the PID/TID will be in there, then this makes a lot of
sense. For each PID/TID that generates a transaction ID, it will have a
monotonically increasing secondary component. No conflicts are possible.

This does rely on per-thread state, but that is easy enough to deal with.

Good call, Manoj.
