Subject: [PATCH] [5/7] Convert the blk allocator functions over to the mask allocator


This is a separate patch because the block allocator functions are 
only getting introduced by my earlier SCSI DMA cleanup patch kit.
This means this patch alone relies on them. Without that patchkit
applied earlier it can be safely dropped.

Right now blk_kmalloc rounds up to pages. There are only a few callers
so adding a sub allocator for that doesn't seem worthwhile.
