* This is a very fast storage allocator. It allocates blocks of a small
* number of different sizes, and keeps free lists of each size. Blocks that
* don't exactly fit are passed up to the next larger size. In this
* implementation, the available sizes are 2^n-4 (or 2^n-10) bytes long.
* This is designed for use in a virtual memory environment.

* The overhead on a block is at least 4 bytes. When free, this space
* contains a pointer to the next free block, and the bottom two bits must
* be zero. When in use, the first byte is set to MAGIC, and the second
* byte is the size index. The remaining bytes are for alignment.
* If range checking is enabled then a second word holds the size of the
* requested block, less 1, rounded up to a multiple of sizeof(RMAGIC).
* The order of elements is critical: ov_magic must overlay the low order
* bits of ov_next, and ov_magic can not be a valid ov_next bit pattern.
