/*
  The design of this memory manager.

  This is a simple implementation of malloc with a few extensions. These are
  the extensions:

  - memalign is implemented efficiently.

  - multiple regions may be used as free space. They may not be
  contiguous.

  Regions are managed by a singly linked list, and the meta information is
  stored in the beginning of each region. Space after the meta information
  is used to allocate memory.

  The memory space is used as cells instead of bytes for simplicity. This
  is important for some CPUs which may not access multiple bytes at a time
  when the first byte is not aligned at a certain boundary (typically,
  4-byte or 8-byte). The size of each cell is equal to the size of struct
  grub_mm_header, so the header of each allocated/free block fits into one
  cell precisely. One cell is 16 bytes on 32-bit platforms and 32 bytes
  on 64-bit platforms.

  There are two types of blocks: allocated blocks and free blocks.

  In allocated blocks, the header of each block has only its size. Note that
  this size is based on cells but not on bytes. The header is located right
  before the returned pointer, that is, the header resides at the previous
  cell.

  Free blocks constitutes a ring, using a singly linked list. The first free
  block is pointed to by the meta information of a region. The allocator
  attempts to pick up the second block instead of the first one. This is
  a typical optimization against defragmentation, and makes the
  implementation a bit easier.

  For safety, both allocated blocks and free ones are marked by magic
  numbers. Whenever anything unexpected is detected, GRUB aborts the
  operation.
