LINKED LIST MANAGEMENT
======================

add_handle  : Add a handle to the list
rm_handle   : Remove a handle from the list
find_handle : Get a handle pointer from an ID
move_handle : Move a handle in the buffer (with or without its data)

These functions only handle the linked list structure. They don't touch the
contents of the struct memory_handle headers. They also change the buf_*idx
pointers when necessary and manage the handle IDs.

The first and current (== last) handle are kept track of.
A new handle is added at buf_widx and becomes the current one.
buf_widx always points to the current writing position for the current handle
buf_ridx always points to the location of the first handle.
buf_ridx == buf_widx means the buffer is empty.
*/
