Subject: [PATCH] [4/8] CPA: Ifdef the cpa pool for DEBUG_PAGEALLOC


When DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is not set there is no need for the complicated 
cpa pool because no recursion is possible in the memory allocator. 

So ifdef this case. This will save some memory because
the pool won't be needed for normal operation.
