+ * 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.
