 * In-Kernel Block Memory Allocation

 * The kernel reserves some memory for internal operation, since  malloc 
 * is not available.
 *
 * Threads
 * -------
 * kballoc() and kbfree() are protected with spinlocks so you can 
 * call them simultanously, even from multiple cpus! 
 *
 * Todo

 * zeroalloc, alloc bytes, realloc
