+ * The slob heap is a set of linked list of pages from alloc_pages(),

+ * heap pages are segregated into three lists, with objects less than

+ * Allocation from heap involves first searching for a page with

+ * a first-fit scan of the page. Deallocation inserts objects back
+ * into the free list in address order, so this is effectively an
