Sasha,

Thanks for the patch! Considering several typos and a couple of nits
that can be freely considered as side notes (i.e. no changes are
required) it LGTM.

Minor: You can just either restore top value for fiber-local Lua state
or unreference Lua coroutine without restoring a pointer to its stack
top slot. As a result you need to preserve the top value only for the
first case (i.e. when the coro_ref is LUA_NOREF) and ignore the value
for all other cases.

Minor: It would be nice to mention (at least for inquisitive persons) a
case when <temporary_L> differs from the given <L> for Lua-born fibers.
