 *
 *	"Guard mode" zone allocator, used to trap use-after-free errors,
 *	overruns, underruns, mismatched allocations/frees, uninitialized
 *	zone element use, timing dependent races etc.
 *
 *	The allocator is configured by these boot-args:
 *	gzalloc_size=<size>: target all zones with elements of <size> bytes
 *	gzalloc_min=<size>: target zones with elements >= size
 *	gzalloc_max=<size>: target zones with elements <= size
 *      gzalloc_min/max can be specified in conjunction to target a range of
 *	sizes
 *	gzalloc_fc_size=<size>: number of zone elements (effectively page
 *	multiple sized) to retain in the free VA cache. This cache is evicted
 *	(backing pages and VA released) in a least-recently-freed fashion.
 *	Larger free VA caches allow for a longer window of opportunity to trap
 *	delayed use-after-free operations, but use more memory.
 *	-gzalloc_wp: Write protect, rather than unmap, freed allocations
 *	lingering in the free VA cache. Useful to disambiguate between
 *	read-after-frees/read overruns and writes. Also permits direct inspection
 *	of the freed element in the cache via the kernel debugger. As each
 *	element has a "header" (trailer in underflow detection mode), the zone
 *	of origin of the element can be easily determined in this mode.
 *	-gzalloc_uf_mode: Underflow detection mode, where the guard page
 *	adjoining each element is placed *before* the element page rather than
 *	after. The element is also located at the top of the page, rather than
 *	abutting the bottom as with the standard overflow detection mode.
 *	-gzalloc_noconsistency: disable consistency checks that flag mismatched
 *	frees, corruptions of the header/trailer signatures etc.
 *	-nogzalloc_mode: Disables the guard mode allocator. The DEBUG kernel
 *	enables the guard allocator for zones sized 1K (if present) by
 *	default, this option can disable that behaviour.
 *	gzname=<name> target a zone by name. Can be coupled with size-based
 *	targeting. Naming conventions match those of the zlog boot-arg, i.e.
 *	"a period in the logname will match a space in the zone name"
 *	-gzalloc_no_dfree_check Eliminate double free checks
 *	gzalloc_zscale=<value> specify size multiplier for the dedicated gzalloc submap
