cpualloc: the allocator

The per cpu allocator allows dynamic allocation of memory on all
processors simultaneously. A bitmap is used to track used areas. The
allocator implements tight packing to reduce the cache footprint and
increase speed since cacheline contention is typically not a concern for
memory mainly used by a single cpu. Small objects will fill up gaps left
by larger allocations that required alignments.

The size of the cpu_alloc area can be changed via the percpu=xxx kernel
parameter.
