I think making allocation/deallocation to the central place is a
good cleanup, but I am not sure about the free-nodes reusing.
Does this make difference in real life?  If so, it might be
worth doing the slab-like allocation, since free-nodes are very
small structure and malloc overhead is not ignorable there.
