- Add helper functions for allocations

Browse source

The allocation of the per CPU buffer descriptor, the buffer page
   descriptors and the buffer page data itself can be pretty ugly.
   Add some helper macros and a function to have the code that allocates
   buffer pages and such look a little cleaner.
