Hmm, mind elaborating where this PAGE_SIZE/sizeof comes from?

That's interesting! Then all "_alloc" ops would be "_init" instead.

Hmm, I don't quite follow the "bugs" here. Any example?

Yes! Haven't tried that yet, but sounds like we could move quite a

Perhaps a smaller cleanup series first to the existing code.
