This is really impressive! Thanks a lot for working on this. I wish we
could simplify the memblock API as well. There are just too many public
functions with subtly different semantic and barely any useful
documentation.
There are also many functions with exactly the same semantic :)

Cleaning up the memblock API would be the next step.
 
But even this is a great step forward!
