/*
 * alloc.c  - specialized allocator for internal objects
 *
 * Copyright (C) 2006 Linus Torvalds
 *
 * The standard malloc/free wastes too much space for objects, partly because
 * it maintains all the allocation infrastructure (which isn't needed, since
 * we never free an object descriptor anyway), but even more because it ends
 * up with maximal alignment because it doesn't know what the object alignment
 * for the new allocation is.
