*(Yet Another) Memory Blocks Allocator*

Type: ``bool``

Help
====

.. code-block:: none

    This enables support for memory block allocator where:
    () All memory blocks have a single fixed size.
    () Multiple blocks can be allocated or freed at the same time.
    () A group of blocks allocated together may not be contiguous.
       This is useful for operations such as scatter-gather DMA
       transfers.
    () Bookkeeping of allocated blocks is done outside of
       the associated buffer (unlike memory slab). This allows
       the buffer to reside in memory regions where these can be
       powered down to conserve energy.

Defaults
========

No defaults. Implicitly defaults to ``n``.
