 *
 * Concepts based on zcache internal zbud allocator by Dan Magenheimer.
 *
 * zbud is an special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages.  Contrary
 * to what its name may suggest, zbud is not a buddy allocator, but rather an
 * allocator that "buddies" two compressed pages together in a single memory
 * page.
 *
 * While this design limits storage density, it has simple and deterministic
 * reclaim properties that make it preferable to a higher density approach when
 * reclaim will be used.
 *
 * zbud works by storing compressed pages, or "zpages", together in pairs in a
 * single memory page called a "zbud page".  The first buddy is "left
 * justified" at the beginning of the zbud page, and the last buddy is "right
 * justified" at the end of the zbud page.  The benefit is that if either
 * buddy is freed, the freed buddy space, coalesced with whatever slack space
 * that existed between the buddies, results in the largest possible free region
 * within the zbud page.
 *
 * zbud also provides an attractive lower bound on density. The ratio of zpages
 * to zbud pages can not be less than 1.  This ensures that zbud can never "do
 * harm" by using more pages to store zpages than the uncompressed zpages would
 * have used on their own.
 *
 * zbud pages are divided into "chunks".  The size of the chunks is fixed at
 * compile time and determined by NCHUNKS_ORDER below.  Dividing zbud pages
 * into chunks allows organizing unbuddied zbud pages into a manageable number
 * of unbuddied lists according to the number of free chunks available in the
 * zbud page.
 *
 * The zbud API differs from that of conventional allocators in that the
 * allocation function, zbud_alloc(), returns an opaque handle to the user,
 * not a dereferenceable pointer.  The user must map the handle using
 * zbud_map() in order to get a usable pointer by which to access the
 * allocation data and unmap the handle with zbud_unmap() when operations
 * on the allocation data are complete.
