/*
 * Generic simple memory manager implementation. Intended to be used as a base
 * class implementation for more advanced memory managers.
 *
 * Note that the algorithm used is quite simple and there might be substantial
 * performance gains if a smarter free list is implemented. Currently it is just an
 * unordered stack of free regions. This could easily be improved if an RB-tree
 * is used instead. At least if we expect heavy fragmentation.
 *
 * Aligned allocations can also see improvement.
