-gerrit commit 876ec78af9f6c9c5251774fbe19cf3ef8769699d Author: Nico Huber <[email protected]> Date: Mon Oct 8 15:03:35 2012 +0200 libpayload: Remove unused FLAG_USED from memory allocator The FLAG_USED bit in the memory allocator's header type was never read. This removes it to save one bit for the region size so we can have heaps of up to 32MiB.
