+# Create a new segment (pool of memory for allocating chunks from) in the form
+# of an *allocation descriptor* that can be passed to the memory allocator
+# (defined in a later layer).
+#
+# Currently an allocation descriptor consists of just the bounds of the pool of
+# available memory:
+#
+#   curr : address
+#   end : address
+#
+# This isn't enough information to reclaim individual allocations. We can't
+# support arbitrary reclamation yet.
