/*
* Memory pools library, Public interface
*
* API Overview
*
* This package provides a memory allocation subsystem based on pools of
* homogenous objects.
*
* Instrumentation is available for reporting memory utilization both
* on a per-data-structure basis and system wide.
*
* There are two main types defined in this API.
*
* pool manager: A singleton object that acts as a factory for
* pool allocators. It also is used for global
* instrumentation, such as reporting all blocks
* in use across all data structures. The pool manager
* creates and provides individual memory pools
* upon request to application code.
*
* memory pool: An object for allocating homogenous memory blocks.
*
* Global identifiers in this module use the following prefixes:
* bcm_mpm_* Memory pool manager
* bcm_mp_* Memory pool
*
* There are two main types of memory pools:
*
* prealloc: The contiguous memory block of objects can either be supplied
* by the client or malloc'ed by the memory manager. The objects are
* allocated out of a block of memory and freed back to the block.
*
* heap: The memory pool allocator uses the heap (malloc/free) for memory.
* In this case, the pool allocator is just providing statistics
* and instrumentation on top of the heap, without modifying the heap
* allocation implementation.
