This patch needs some rebasing as some of the memory functions have moved
from eal_memory.c to eal_common_dynmem.c, and the windows code has been
updated too.
Any further versions of this set can probably have the "RFC" label removed
too, as the consensus very much seems to be in favour of this change - it's
just a matter of getting the implementation in.
One further comment below.

For completeness sake, these variable names, which appear in multiple
places should be renamed too, m2s -> i2w, s2m -> w2i.
