But you do more than just that.  If there's a failure, you fall-back to
the old allocation method.  Why not mention that as well?

And is that what you really want?  Do we ever fail allocation for a node
but still have memory from another one?  Shouldn't the logic be in the
allocator and not be forced to be in every caller?

thanks,
