/*
* 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.
