deallocation came from the allocator (malloc, fee, etc) or somewhere
else (the user calling mmap/munmap, etc). Going to be used by Galen
to determine if it is worth searching the allocations tree
Set flag if it is possible to intercept mmap (not always possible
due to a circular dependency between mmap, dlsym, and calloc)

may call calloc(large number), which causes ptmalloc2 to call mmap, which
causes us to try to dlsym for mmap, which leads to looping badness.
This commit was SVN r8461.
the ptmalloc2 memory hooks component triggers callbacks for memory
allocation / deallocation. If enabled (the default) it is only when
memory is actually obtained from or released to the OS (so little
malloc calls only trigger callbacks if sbrk is called). If disabled,
callbacks are triggered every time malloc/free/etc. is called
* It turns out that syscall and mmap aren't good friends due to the return
type of mmap and some old legacy issues with syscall functions that
take more than 5 parameters. For now, default to either loading
the symbol from glibc using dlsym or using the __m{un,}map functions.
Thanks to George for finding this.
* Fix some dumb typos in the mmap / munmap catching code

both mmap and munmap), adjusting the configure script so that the
component will only be activated on systems that use ptmalloc2 in the
first place -- ie, Linux
* Remove the malloc_hooks component - it became an unworkable solution
once threads and such were considered.
* Remove malloc_interpose component - it never worked quite right and
was not going to be able to intercept malloc, so it wasn't going to
be useful for OMPI's purposes.
* Update tests a little bit to match recent memory hooks api
issues - still needs a bit of work.
