Ok, I have almost finished the rewrite.
I still have to address this comment.
When I run the test, eventually the system runs out of memory, it keeps
getting allocation errors from vmalloc, until i finally overflows and
becomes 0.
Am I supposed to do something about it?
If pmalloc receives a request that the vmalloc backend cannot satisfy, I
would prefer that vmalloc itself produces the warning and pmalloc
returns NULL.
This doesn't look like a test case that one can leave always enabled in
a build, but maybe I'm missing the point.
