/* -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * Generational GC
 *
 * We support an arbitrary number of generations, with an arbitrary number
 * of steps per generation.  Notes (in no particular order):
 *
 *       - all generations except the oldest should have the same
 *         number of steps.  Multiple steps gives objects a decent
 *         chance to age before being promoted, and helps ensure that
 *         we don't end up with too many thunks being updated in older
 *         generations.
 *
 *       - the oldest generation has one step.  There's no point in aging
 *         objects in the oldest generation.
 *
 *       - generation 0, step 0 (G0S0) is the allocation area.  It is given
 *         a fixed set of blocks during initialisation, and these blocks
 *         normally stay in G0S0.  In parallel execution, each
 *         Capability has its own nursery.
 *
 *       - during garbage collection, each step which is an evacuation
 *         destination (i.e. all steps except G0S0) is allocated a to-space.
 *         evacuated objects are allocated into the step's to-space until
 *         GC is finished, when the original step's contents may be freed
 *         and replaced by the to-space.
 *
 *       - the mutable-list is per-generation (not per-step).  G0 doesn't 
 *         have one (since every garbage collection collects at least G0).
 * 
 *       - block descriptors contain pointers to both the step and the
 *         generation that the block belongs to, for convenience.
 *
 *       - static objects are stored in per-generation lists.  See GC.c for
 *         details of how we collect CAFs in the generational scheme.
 *
 *       - large objects are per-step, and are promoted in the same way
 *         as small objects, except that we may allocate large objects into
 *         generation 1 initially.

				Returns a pointer to the first word.
				Always succeeds.
				
				NOTE: the GC can't in general handle
				pinned objects, so allocatePinned()
				can only be used for ByteArrays at the
				moment.

				Don't forget to TICK_ALLOC_XXX(...)
				after calling allocate or
				allocatePinned, for the
