/**
 * Slab allocator for equally sized memory allocations.
 *
 * Objects are allocated from "child" pools that are connected to a "parent"
 * pool.
 *
 * Calls to slab_alloc/slab_free for the same child pool must not occur from
 * multiple threads simultaneously.
 *
 * Allocations obtained from one child pool should usually be freed in the
 * same child pool. Freeing an allocation in a different child pool associated
 * to the same parent is allowed (and requires no locking by the caller), but
 * it is discouraged because it implies a performance penalty.
 *
 * For convenience and to ease the transition, there is also a set of wrapper
 * functions around a single parent-child pair.
