 * About the slab allocator
 * """"""""""""""""""""""""
 *
 * This is a simple implementation of a "slab" allocator. It works by operating
 * on "bins" of items of predefined sizes and a set of pseudo-bins of any size.
 * When a new allocation request is made, the allocator determines if it will
 * fit in an existing bin. If there are no bins of the correct size for a given
 * allocation request, the allocator will make a bin and add it to a(n empty)
 * list of available bins of that size. In this implementation, we use sizes
 * from 4 bytes (32 bit) or 8 bytes (64-bit) to 2KB for bins, fitting a 4K page
 * size. The implementation allows the number of pages in a single bin to be
 * increased, as well as allowing for changing the size of page (though this
 * should, for the most part, remain 4KB under any modern system).
 *
 * Special thanks
 * """"""""""""""
 *
 * I would like to thank Dave Majnemer, who I have credited above as a
 * contributor, for his assistance. Without Dave, klmalloc would be a mash
 * up of bits of forward movement in no discernible pattern. Dave helped
 * me ensure that I could build a proper slab allocator and has consantly
 * derided me for not fixing the bugs and to-do items listed in the last
 * section of this readme.
 *
 * GCC Function Attributes
 * """""""""""""""""""""""
 *
 * A couple of GCC function attributes, designated by the __attribute__
 * directive, are used in this code to streamline optimization.
 * I've chosen to include a brief overview of the particular attributes
 * I am making use of:
 *
 * - malloc:
 *   Tells gcc that a given function is a memory allocator
 *   and that non-NULL values it returns should never be
 *   associated with other chunks of memory. We use this for
 *   alloc, realloc and calloc, as is requested in the gcc
 *   documentation for the attribute.
 *
 * - always_inline:
 *   Tells gcc to always inline the given code, regardless of the
 *   optmization level. Small functions that would be noticeably
 *   slower with the overhead of paramter handling are given
 *   this attribute.
 *
 * - pure:
 *   Tells gcc that a function only uses inputs and its output.
 *
 * Things to work on
 * """""""""""""""""
 *
 * TODO: Try to be more consistent on comment widths...
 * FIXME: Make thread safe! Not necessary for competition, but would be nice.
 * FIXME: Splitting/coalescing is broken. Fix this ASAP!
