A common trait of these objects are that they are allocated during the command validation phase and freed after command submission. Furthermore they are accessed by a single thread only. So provide a simple unprotected stack-like allocator from which these objects can be allocated. Their memory is freed with the validation context when the command submission is done. Note that the mm subsystem maintains a per-cpu cache of single pages to make single page allocation and freeing efficient.
