I was trying to do that but this is a drop in replacement so it is quite
hard to do in smaller pieces. I've already put the allocation callback
cleanup into a separate one but this is about all that I figured how to
split. If you have any suggestions I am willing to try them out.

Not sure what you mean here. I have kept chunk_start, chunk_node, so I
am not really changing that terminology

Thanks!
