Thanks Alexey.  This is better than the previous patch, but I still
don't feel comfortable with the amount of change in a single patch.
I'm having a hard time reviewing the change.  I'd much prefer to see
one patch (or more) with just the data structure changes, and then one
patch (or more) with the change from the array based allocation system
to the list traversal allocation system.  (That is, it should be
possible to have all the linked lists in place while still using the
array system to do the allocations, and then in a separate patch
delete the arrays and convert over to list traversal.)
