[Igor Munkin]

Oleg,

Thanks for the fixes! I still have some comments regarding the new
version of this patch.

Totally agree with Vlad here. I guess you have two options:
* Use the approach similar to <cord_on_yield>.
* Introduce a constant in src/lib/core/fiber.h and add a static assert
  in src/lua/utils.h whether this value is the same as in LuaJIT.

Maybe there are other options Vlad can suggest.

Minor: Why do you need both <storage_ref> and <ref> variables? After
your change they can be freely dropped.

Minor: It would be nice also to rename <ref> to <fid_ref>.
