I didn't. Alternative was a separate data structure.

There are lots of different cases. At least for anonymous memory
->mapping should be free. Perhaps that could be used for anonymous
memory and a separate data structure for the important others.

slab should have at least one field free too, although it might be a different
one (iirc Christoph's rewrite uses more than the current slab, but it would
surprise me if he needed all)

I meant assuming the patchkit was applied you would break binary search
inbetween because not each piece compiles on its own.
