=== Word: MALLOC

Data stack: ( n -- a )

"MALLOC" is a word that allocates memory using mmap of at least n
bytes and returns the lowest address of the allocated block.

Note that this makes new page allocations for the process from the
kernel, and the granularity is in pages, i.e. a multiple of 4 kb.

The memory is allocated with READ and WRITE access but not EXEC
access, and flagged as PRIVATE, ANONYMOUS and LOCKED. See the "man
page" of mmap for details.
