13 * The following functions operate on 'barebone' memory allocator.
14 * They assume you have appropriate privileges for the allocator to work.
15 * They won't change access rights of the memory they operate on.
17 * This two-level design allows safe boot-time memory initialization.
18 * MMU control structures take up (lots of) memory themselves, and you
19 * need to know where to place them.
20 * To solve this, you first initialize memory allocator, and then allocate
21 * memory for MMU control structures. After the MMU is up, you can manipulate
22 * protection attributes.

25 void mm_FreePages(void *addr, uintptr_t length, struct KernelBase *KernelBase);
28 * Low-level functions, implemented by the allocator.
29 * They will be different, depending on the allocator implementation.
