/* This logic is all tentatively and, hopefully, will grow in usability.
* For now, the kernel-mode build uses the memory manager that is
* provided in the user-space build. That is awkward but reasonable for
* the current level of support: At present, only memory protection is
* provided. Kernel-mode code may call into user-mode code, but not
* vice-versa. So hosting the memory manager in user-space allows the
* memory manager to be shared in both kernel- and user-mode spaces.
*
* In the longer run, if an MMU is support that can provide virtualized
* memory, then some SLAB memory manager will be required in kernel-space
* with some kind of brk() system call to obtain mapped heap space.
*
* In the current build model, the user-space module is built first. The
* file user_map.h is generated in the first pass and contains the
* addresses of the memory manager needed in this file:

* Function: kmalloc
*
* Description:
* This is a simple redirection to the user-space malloc() function.
*
* Parameters:
* None
*
* Return Value:
* The address of the allocated memory (NULL on failure to allocate)
*
* Assumptions:
* 1. malloc() resides in user-space
* 2. The address of the user space malloc() is provided in user_map.h
* 3. The user-space malloc() is callable from kernel-space.
