I don't see any good reason to forget - on kernel side - this chunk, as
we still keep the struct member in memory.
Anyway, I've done some other major changes to this patch, now the chunks
are a simple chained list. That prevents bugs like thinking the first
chunk is right after the last one in memory.
The new code is also much lighter on dprintf. I'll send a patch when
I'll have solved what I think is the last bug which only triggers on
x86: malloc returns sometime out of region pointers...

I prefer relying on sizeof when it comes to allocating space instead of
such formula. If we ever change the struct size, it would break in a
strange way - like all memory allocation problems.
