/** @file engine-buffer-allocator.hpp
 ** Implementation of render buffer allocation for the Lumiera Engine.
 ** Memory for render buffer is allocated in blocks with a size aligned
 ** to the typical cache-line granularity. These allocations are maintained
 ** in thread-local pools and re-used to the extent possible. Excess blocks
 ** are sent back and collected by the EngineBufferManager, which serves
 ** thus as an background collector and manager for the buffer memory.
 ** 
 ** @todo WIP 4/2026 The intention is to use a family of pools eventually,
 **       with some of the most relevant tile sizes. The EngineBufferManager
 **       would then actually retain ownership of all allocations and just
 **       _lease_ them to the LocalMemPool instances. Allocations would be
 **       added in extents, likely also using some usage bitmap. However
 **       building any such kind of optimised allocator requires to conduct
 **       very detailed _and_ realistic performance observations; furthermore
 **       it is likely that we'd need some dynamic scheme to select suitable
 **       tile sizes and pool dimensions. Not sure if it is even possible
 **       to improve performance by such a scheme; with some likelihood
 **       the majority of the benefits will be reaped already just by
 **       introducing thread-local pools without wasting too much memory.
