the free fast path and completely avoided if our memory is full and we
are doing direct reclaim during allocations.
This is required to actually evaluate power saving benefit once we have candidate implementations in the VM.
At this point we want to look at overheads of having region infrastructure in VM and how does that trade off in terms of requirements that we can meet.
The first goal is to have memory allocations fill as few regions as possible when system's memory usage is significantly lower.
