// FixAlloc is a simple free-list allocator for fixed size objects.

// MCache and MSpan objects.
//
// Memory returned by FixAlloc_Alloc is not zeroed.
// The caller is responsible for locking around FixAlloc calls.
// Callers can keep state in the object but the first word is
// smashed by freeing and reallocating.
