[PATCH 0/2] Malloc manual cleanups


Here's take 2 of the cleanup of descriptions in the manual description in
malloc.  As suggested in previous review, I have made the following changes:

 - Moved up "Efficiency considerations for malloc" into a new subsection called
   "The GNU allocator" that gives a high level description of the allocator
   design and introduces terms like arenas and chunks.  I did not go into too
   much detail here and have instead pointed interested readers to the wiki page
   DJ wrote.

 - Added default values of all of the mallopt parameters

Siddhesh Poyarekar (2):
  Add note on MALLOC_MMAP_* environment variables
  Document the M_ARENA_* mallopt parameters
