   * Basic general purpose allocator for managing special purpose
   * memory, for example, memory that is not managed by the regular
   * kmalloc/kfree interface.  Uses for this includes on-device special
   * memory, uncached memory etc.
   *
   * It is safe to use the allocator in NMI handlers and other special
   * unblockable contexts that could otherwise deadlock on locks.  This
   * is implemented by using atomic operations and retries on any
   * conflicts.  The disadvantage is that there may be livelocks in
   * extreme cases.  For better scalability, one allocator can be used
   * for each CPU.
   *
   * The lockless operation only works if there is enough memory
   * available.  If new memory is added to the pool a lock has to be
   * still taken.  So any user relying on locklessness has to ensure
   * that sufficient memory is preallocated.
   *
   * The basic atomic operation of this allocator is cmpxchg on long.
   * On architectures that don't have NMI-safe cmpxchg implementation,
   * the allocator can NOT be used in NMI handler.  So code uses the
   * allocator in NMI handler should depend on
   * CONFIG_ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG.
