   CAF management.

   The entry code for every CAF does the following:
     
      - builds a BLACKHOLE in the heap
      - pushes an update frame pointing to the BLACKHOLE
      - calls newCaf, below
      - updates the CAF with a static indirection to the BLACKHOLE
      
   Why do we build an BLACKHOLE in the heap rather than just updating
   the thunk directly?  It's so that we only need one kind of update
   frame - otherwise we'd need a static version of the update frame too.

   newCaf() does the following:
       
      - it puts the CAF on the oldest generation's mutable list.
        This is so that we treat the CAF as a root when collecting
        younger generations.

   For GHCI, we have additional requirements when dealing with CAFs:

      - we must *retain* all dynamically-loaded CAFs ever entered,
        just in case we need them again.
      - we must be able to *revert* CAFs that have been evaluated, to
        their pre-evaluated form.

      To do this, we use an additional CAF list.  When newCaf() is
      called on a dynamically-loaded CAF, we add it to the CAF list
      instead of the old-generation mutable list, and save away its
      old info pointer (in caf->saved_info) for later reversion.

      To revert all the CAFs, we traverse the CAF list and reset the
      info pointer to caf->saved_info, then throw away the CAF list.
      (see GC.c:revertCAFs()).

   Allocate a fixed/pinned object.

   We allocate small pinned objects into a single block, allocating a
   new block when the current one overflows.  The block is chained
   onto the large_object_list of generation 0.

   NOTE: The GC can't in general handle pinned objects.  This
   interface is only safe to use for ByteArrays, which have no
   pointers and don't require scavenging.  It works because the
   block's descriptor has the BF_LARGE flag set, so the block is
   treated as a large object and chained onto various lists, rather
   than the individual objects being copied.  However, when it comes
   to scavenge the block, the GC will only scavenge the first object.
   The reason is that the GC can't linearly scan a block of pinned
   objects at the moment (doing so would require using the
   mostly-copying techniques).  But since we're restricting ourselves
   to pinned ByteArrays, not scavenging is ok.

   Executable memory

   Executable memory must be managed separately from non-executable
   memory.  Most OSs these days require you to jump through hoops to
   dynamically allocate executable memory, due to various security
   measures.

   Here we provide a small memory allocator for executable memory.
   Memory is managed with a page granularity; we allocate linearly
   in the page, and when the page is emptied (all objects on the page
   are free) we free the page again, not forgetting to make it
   non-executable.

   TODO: The inability to handle objects bigger than BLOCK_SIZE_W means that
         the linker cannot use allocateExec for loading object code files
         on Windows. Once allocateExec can handle larger objects, the linker
         should be modified to use allocateExec instead of VirtualAlloc.
