/* Fast memory allocator.
 *
 * This memory allocator allocates memory for a batch of object (specified by
 * the page size, the number of object in each page).
 *
 * It does not allow the destruction of a single object. All the allocated
 * objects can be destroyed at once. The memory can be either released or reused
 * for future allocation.
 *
 * The in-place new operator must be used to construct the object using the
 * pointer returned by allocate.
