Shoot me now. 

> As suggested by Linus,

I'm happy to hear that the thing worked, but I'm not sure how happy I 
should be about yet _another_ allocator. Will it ever end?

But seriously, it looks simple and small enough, so in that sense there 
doesn't seem to be a problem. But I really don't look forward to another 
one of these, at least not without somebody deciding that yes, we can 
prune one of the old ones as never being better. Hmm?
