/* Simple, fast heap implementation.
 *
 * A more or less conventional segregated fit allocator with
 * power-of-two buckets.
 *
 * Excellent space efficiency.  Chunks can be split arbitrarily in 8
 * byte units.  Overhead is only four bytes per allocated chunk (eight
 * bytes for heaps >256kb or on 64 bit systems), plus a log2-sized
 * array of 2-word bucket headers.  No coarse alignment restrictions
 * on blocks, they can be split and merged (in units of 8 bytes)
 * arbitrarily.
 *
 * Simple API.  Initialize at runtime with any blob of memory and not
 * a macro-generated, carefully aligned static array.  Allocate and
 * free by user pointer and not an opaque block handle.
 *
 * Good fragmentation resistance.  Freed blocks are always immediately
 * merged with adjacent free blocks.  Allocations are attempted from a
 * sample of the smallest bucket that might fit, falling back rapidly
 * to the smallest block guaranteed to fit.  Split memory remaining in
 * the chunk is always returned immediately to the heap for other
 * allocation.
 *
 * Excellent performance with firmly bounded runtime.  All operations
 * are constant time (though there is a search of the smallest bucket
 * that has a compile-time-configurable upper bound, setting this to
 * extreme values results in an effectively linear search of the
 * list), objectively fast (~hundred instructions) and amenable to
 * locked operation.

/* Note: the init_mem/bytes fields are for the static initializer to
 * have somewhere to put the arguments.  The actual heap metadata at
 * runtime lives in the heap memory itself and this struct simply
 * functions as an opaque pointer.  Would be good to clean this up and
 * put the two values somewhere else, though it would make
 * SYS_HEAP_DEFINE a little hairy to write.
