as someone who is working on hardware that is PASR capable right now,
I have to admit that our plan was to just hook into the buddy allocator,
and use PASR on the top level of buddy (eg PASR off blocks that are
free there, and PASR them back on once an allocation required the block
to be broken up)..... that looked the very most simple to me.
Maybe something much more elaborate is needed, but I didn't see why so
far.
