    [wasm] A simple allocator datastructure for off-the heap · 110d9ab0
    Mircea Trofin authored
    We'll use this allocator in a follow-up CL to:
    - allocate speculative sizes of memory for a module that's being
    compiled (e.g. 2*size of wasm code).
    - each module will own such a sub-pool, and then use it to allocate
    contiguous chunks of memory for code.
    
    The underlying assumptions for the chosen allocation strategy is that:
    - the allocation granularity for pools is 1 page, so that no one page
    is owned by more than one wasm module
    - typical pool sizes (given module sizes) are multiple pages.
    - modules and module instances are typically few and long lived. Typically,
    we expect one module and one instance. 
    
    This means we shouldn't expect fragmentations that lead to code being
    non-allocatable, or prohibitively many ranges.
    
    The data structure just manages ranges of addresses. Virtual memory management
    will be separate, as part of the responsibility of a "WasmHeap"
    that will be introduced in the future. So will concurrency control.
