// Allocate and return "N" bytes of zeroed memory.
//
// If actual_bytes is NULL then the returned memory is exactly the
// requested size. If actual bytes is non-NULL then the allocator
// may optionally return more bytes than asked for (i.e. return an
// entire "huge" page if a huge page allocator is in use).
//
// The returned pointer is a multiple of "alignment" if non-zero.
//
// Returns NULL when out of memory.

// This call is a hint to the operating system that the pages
// contained in the specified range of memory will not be used for a
// while, and can be released for use by other processes or the OS.
// Pages which are released in this way may be destroyed (zeroed) by
// the OS. The benefit of this function is that it frees memory for
// use by the system, the cost is that the pages are faulted back into
// the address space next time they are touched, which can impact
// performance. (Only pages fully covered by the memory region will
// be released, partial pages will not.)
