Non-hal memory (eg from malloc) is also freed when the process exits (it's more
complicated for kernel mode realtime components, maybe that's what you meant).

I'd prefer if we used hal memory for things that need to be in hal, and used
non-hal memory for everything else.
But I don't intend to clean up all the violations of this preference, so my
opinion doesn't count for much.
