This design does not allow lock-free allocation, so the related task was removed from the issue.
It does, however, allow a finer level of locking than the previous design.
Also, working on all features at once. Much easier this way. Will take a while.
Rowhammer-proofing is a book-keeping nightmare, and fails when shared memory is involved.
Will not implement.
Reference counting is not fully implemented yet.

God help me.
It is vital that Beelzebub begins to use 2-MiB pages where possible.
These have their own TLBs in L1 and share entries with 4-KiB pages in L2.
Therefore, using 2-MiB pages allows threads and cores to handle significantly larger working sets, which is handy for both the kernel and especially userland.
This requires support from the PMM, which needs to provide aligned pages.
Thus, the following must be implemented:
