Avoiding - and fixing - memory fragmentation.


Interesting article in LWN about possible solutions for avoiding and fixing memory fragmentation.
This issue was main goal of the network tree allocator, which among others has ability to perform zero-copy sending and receiving, which I plan to integrate into netchannels.
Main difference is the fact, that network tree allocator combines chunks inside pages including composed pages, while solution proposed by Mel Gorman is to combine pages.
