  // 16 MB extent alone; allocated from the middle it leaves two of 8 MB, and a
  // framebuffer that needed 9 MB now cannot be had on an arena three quarters

  //   16384 KB total, 12295 KB free in 3 extent(s), 4088 KB out
  //     0  ...  4091904        <- too small for a 4000 KB framebuffer, by 4 KB
  //     1  ...     3584
  //     2  ...  8495104
  //
  // Best fit puts each request in the tightest extent that will hold it, which
  // leaves the large ones whole for the requests that have no alternative. It
  // is O(n) over a table that holds a handful of entries, so the cost is
  // nothing, and it cannot fragment *worse* than first fit for any request.
