WARNING
The result of any memory allocation MUST be checked, and a viable error handling path taken. ANY allocation may fail if memory has been filled.
Memory allocation and deallocation as well as querying how much memory is available requires a Task or, by extension, a Process. None of the exec kernel memory management operations is safe to call from interrupt code!
