    libc - Bring dmalloc in for x86-64
    
    * Bring in a much faster allocator for x86-64.  DMalloc is a slab alloctor
      with dynamic slab sizing capabilities, allowing slabs to be used for
      all allocation sizes.  This simplifies the code paths considerably.
    
    * DMalloc is optimized for heavy-use situations but will still retain a
      run size similar to the old nmalloc code.  The VSZ is going to be quite
      a bit bigger, though.  The best test is w/mysqld as mysql[d] allocates
      and frees memory at a very high rate.
    
    * DMalloc is almost completely lockless.  Slabs become owned by threads
      which can then manipulate them trivially.  Frees can operate on foreign
      slabs in a lockless manner.  A depot is used primarily as a catch-all
      for thread exits.
