/**
 * DOC: Linear memory pools
 *
 * Linear memory pools are collections of memory blocks which
 * support very fast allocation of new blocks, but are able to free only
 * the whole collection at once.
 *
 * Example: Each configuration is described by a complex system of structures,
 * linked lists and function trees which are all allocated from a single linear
 * pool, thus they can be freed at once when the configuration is no longer used.
