 22/// `Kmalloc` is typically used for physically contiguous allocations up to page size, but also

 25/// For more details see [self].

 28/// The virtually contiguous kernel allocator.
 29///
 30/// `Vmalloc` allocates pages from the page level allocator and maps them into the contiguous kernel
 31/// virtual space. It is typically used for large allocations. The memory allocated with this
 32/// allocator is not physically contiguous.
 33///
 34/// For more details see [self].

 38///
 39/// `KVmalloc` attempts to allocate memory with `Kmalloc` first, but falls back to `Vmalloc` upon
 40/// failure. This allocator is typically used when the size for the requested allocation is not
 41/// known and may exceed the capabilities of `Kmalloc`.
