I have only looked at the mem-pool related patches to see if
mem-pool.c is good enough to replace alloc.c. To me, it's a "yes"
after we optimize mem_pool_alloc() a bit (not that performance really
matters in alloc.c case, but that may be because it's already
blazingly fast that we never noticed about it).
I probably should look at read-cache.c changes too. Maybe later.
Although after the change to use xmalloc() per entry a few years(?)
ago, it should be straight forward to use a different memory
allocator.
