# 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.
