// LinkerMemeoryAllocator is general purpose allocator
// designed to provide the same functionality as the malloc/free/realloc
// libc functions.
//
// On alloc:
// If size is >= 1k allocator proxies malloc call directly to mmap
// If size < 1k allocator uses SmallObjectAllocator for the size
// rounded up to the nearest power of two.
//
// On free:
//
// For a pointer allocated using proxy-to-mmap allocator unmaps
// the memory.
//
// For a pointer allocated using SmallObjectAllocator it adds
// the block to free_blocks_list_. If the number of free pages reaches 2,
// SmallObjectAllocator munmaps one of the pages keeping the other one
// in reserve.
