/*
 * A simple allocator for the dynamic linker. An allocator allocates instances
 * of a single fixed-size type. Allocations are backed by page-sized private
 * anonymous mmaps.
 *
 * The differences between this allocator and LinkerMemoryAllocator are:
 * 1. This allocator manages space more efficiently. LinkerMemoryAllocator
 *    operates in power-of-two sized blocks up to 1k, when this implementation
 *    splits the page to aligned size of structure; For example for structures
 *    with size 513 this allocator will use 516 (520 for lp64) bytes of data
 *    where generalized implementation is going to use 1024 sized blocks.
 *
 * 2. This allocator does not munmap allocated memory, where LinkerMemoryAllocator does.
 *
 * 3. This allocator provides mprotect services to the user, where LinkerMemoryAllocator
 *    always treats it's memory as READ|WRITE.
