Derive for our purposes something similar to what Linux has been having for a long while.
1: x86: introduce "brk" allocator 2: x86/EFI: replace ebmalloc() 3: xhci-dbc: use brk_alloc() To reduce padding holes, .bss.page_aligned and per-CPU data may want moving immediately ahead of __brk_start[]. Albeit then the tail of per-CPU data will all be padding space; sadly the TSS wants/needs page-aligning for XPTI purposes. Jan
