 * This header declares the OSMalloc memory-allocation KPI.
 *
 * @discussion
 * Kernel extensions can use these functions to allocate and deallocate
 * memory blocks that are tracked under named tags.
 * A kernel extension can create whatever tags it needs,
 * but typically just creates one with its bundle identifier.
 *
 * Tags are required; attempting to use these functions without one
 * will result in a panic.
 *
 * <b>Use Restrictions</b>
 *
 * None of the OSMalloc functions are safe to call
 * in a primary interrupt handler.
