/*
 * Old way:
 *   xmalloc each item separately, upon free stack into idle pool array.
 *   each item is individually malloc()ed from system, imposing libmalloc
 *   overhead, and additionally we add our overhead of pointer size per item
 *   as we keep a list of pointer to free items.
 *
 * Chunking:
 *   xmalloc Chunk that fits at least MEM_MIN_FREE (32) items in an array, but
 *   limit Chunk size to MEM_CHUNK_MAX_SIZE (256K). Chunk size is rounded up to
 *   MEM_PAGE_SIZE (4K), trying to have chunks in multiples of VM_PAGE size.
 *   Minimum Chunk size is MEM_CHUNK_SIZE (16K).
 *   A number of items fits into a single chunk, depending on item size.
 *   Maximum number of items per chunk is limited to MEM_MAX_FREE (65535).
 *
 *   We populate Chunk with a linkedlist, each node at first word of item,
 *   and pointing at next free item. Chunk->FreeList is pointing at first
 *   free node. Thus we stuff free housekeeping into the Chunk itself, and
 *   omit pointer overhead per item.
 *
 *   Chunks are created on demand, and new chunks are inserted into linklist
 *   of chunks so that Chunks with smaller pointer value are placed closer
 *   to the linklist head. Head is a hotspot, servicing most of requests, so
 *   slow sorting occurs and Chunks in highest memory tend to become idle
 *   and freeable.
 *
 *   event is registered that runs every 15 secs and checks reference time
 *   of each idle chunk. If a chunk is not referenced for 15 secs, it is
 *   released.
 *
 *   [If mem_idle_limit is exceeded with pools, every chunk that becomes
 *   idle is immediately considered for release, unless this is the only
 *   chunk with free items in it.] (not implemented)
 *
 *   In cachemgr output, there are new columns for chunking. Special item,
 *   Frag, is shown to estimate approximately fragmentation of chunked
 *   pools. Fragmentation is calculated by taking amount of items in use,
 *   calculating needed amount of chunks to fit all, and then comparing to
 *   actual amount of chunks in use. Frag number, in percent, is showing
 *   how many percent of chunks are in use excessively. 100% meaning that
 *   twice the needed amount of chunks are in use.
 *   "part" item shows number of chunks partially filled. This shows how
 *   badly fragmentation is spread across all chunks.
