I would say that all the above are just application-level
memory-management strategies - none of them seems to qualify for being
a real "custom memory allocator", don't you think????

Anton,

Then what is a "custom memory allocator", you can't do anything else
unless you really hack the kernel (oop's I forgot you recomend such
stupidity). Even the heap is just a layer over the allocate memory calls
from the system.

This is perfectly valid and is a memory manager. In fact under the
right circumstances this is a valid thing to do in the kernel as well as
user space.
