38  * Regional allocator. Allocates small portions of of larger chunks.
39  * Based on region-allocator from NSD, but rewritten to be light.
40  *
41  * Different from (nsd) region-allocator.h
42  * 	o does not have recycle bin
43  * 	o does not collect stats; just enough to answer get_mem() in use.
44  * 	o does not keep cleanup list
45  * 	o does not have function pointers to setup
46  * 	o allocs the regional struct inside the first block.
47  * 	o can take a block to create regional from.
48  * 	o blocks and large allocations are kept on singly linked lists.
