/*
 * The memory pool allows one to allocate memory from a fixed size buffer
 * that also allows freeing semantics for reuse. However, the current
 * limitation is that the most recent allocation is the only one that
 * can be freed. If one tries to free any allocation that isn't the
 * most recently allocated it will result in a leak within the memory pool.
 *
 * The memory returned by allocations are at least 8 byte aligned. Note
 * that this requires the backing buffer to start on at least an 8 byte
 * alignment.
