#pragma once
// KBuffer: Statically sized kernel-only memory buffer.
//
// A KBuffer is a value-type convenience class that wraps a NonnullRefPtr<KBufferImpl>.
// The memory is allocated via the global kernel-only page allocator, rather than via
// kmalloc() which is what ByteBuffer/Vector/etc will use.
//
// This makes KBuffer a little heavier to allocate, but much better for large and/or
// long-lived allocations, since they don't put all that weight and pressure on the
// severely limited kmalloc heap.
