[PATCH] change gen_pool allocator to not touch managed memory

Modify the gen_pool allocator (lib/genalloc.c) to utilize a bitmap scheme
instead of the buddy scheme.  The purpose of this change is to eliminate
the touching of the actual memory being allocated.

Since the change modifies the interface, a change to the uncached allocator
(arch/ia64/kernel/uncached.c) is also required.

Both Andrey Volkov and Jes Sorenson have expressed a desire that the
gen_pool allocator not write to the memory being managed. See the
following:
