/*
 * To support quick and inline allocation, regions of memory can be
 * allocated and then allocated from with just a free pointer and a
 * check against an end address.
 *
 * Since objects can be allocated to spaces with different properties
 * e.g. boxed/unboxed, generation, ages; there may need to be many
 * allocation regions.
 *
 * Each allocation region may start within a partly used page. Many
 * features of memory use are noted on a page wise basis, e.g. the
 * generation; so if a region starts within an existing allocated page
 * it must be consistent with this page.
 *
 * During the scavenging of the newspace, objects will be transported
 * into an allocation region, and pointers updated to point to this
 * allocation region. It is possible that these pointers will be
 * scavenged again before the allocation region is closed, e.g. due to
 * trans_list which jumps all over the place to cleanup the list. It
 * is important to be able to determine properties of all objects
 * pointed to when scavenging, e.g to detect pointers to the oldspace.
 * Thus it's important that the allocation regions have the correct
 * properties set when allocated, and not just set when closed. The
 * region allocation routines return regions with the specified
 * properties, and grab all the pages, setting their properties
 * appropriately, except that the amount used is not known.
 *
 * These regions are used to support quicker allocation using just a
 * free pointer. The actual space used by the region is not reflected
 * in the pages tables until it is closed. It can't be scavenged until
 * closed.
 *
 * When finished with the region it should be closed, which will
 * update the page tables for the actual space used returning unused
 * space. Further it may be noted in the new regions which is
 * necessary when scavenging the newspace.
 *
 * Large objects may be allocated directly without an allocation
 * region, the page tables are updated immediately.
 *
 * Unboxed objects don't contain pointers to other objects and so
 * don't need scavenging. Further they can't contain pointers to
 * younger generations so WP is not needed. By allocating pages to
 * unboxed objects the whole page never needs scavenging or
 * write-protecting. */

 * not always scavenged. There is some code to check that these pages
 * are not written; but to check fully the write-protected pages need
 * to be scavenged by disabling the code to skip them.
 *
 * Under the current scheme when a generation is GCed the younger
 * generations will be empty. So, when a generation is being GCed it
 * is only necessary to scavenge the older generations for pointers
 * not the younger. So a page that does not have pointers to younger
 * generations does not need to be scavenged.
 *
 * The write-protection can be used to note pages that don't have
 * pointers to younger pages. But pages can be written without having
 * pointers to younger generations. After the pages are scavenged here
 * they can be scanned for pointers to younger generations and if
 * there are none the page can be write-protected.
 *
 * One complication is when the newspace is the top temp. generation.
 *
 * Enabling SC_GEN_CK scavenges the write-protected pages and checks
 * that none were written, which they shouldn't be as they should have
 * no pointers to younger generations. This breaks down for weak
 * pointers as the objects contain a link to the next and are written
 * if a weak pointer is scavenged. Still it's a useful check. */
