I _really_ love this part the most! Not only we got rid of the
translation which always has been a headache but also this nicely shows
how having multiple allocators hurt. I believe further cleanups on top
will make the boot allocator even a place where you look and your eyes
do not want to jump out.
I have only went through patches without my acks from the previous
iteration and there are only minor comments. This looks good overall.
Nice work Mike!
