Scudo is supposed to allocate any blocks across the entired mapped
pages and each page is equally likely to be selected. Which means Scudo
is leaning to touch as many pages as possible. This brings better
security but it also sacrifices the chance of releasing dirty pages.
To alleviate the unmanagable footprint growing, this CL introduces the
BatchGroup concept. Each blocks will be classified into a BatchGroup
according to its address. While allocation, we are leaning to allocate
blocks in the same group first. Note that the blocks selected from a
group is still random over several pages. At the same time, we have
better prediction of dirty page growing speed. Besides, we are able to
do partial page releasing by examing part of BatchGroups.
