[ppml] Allocation and reallocation

[Charles Scott]

Leo:
  The problem with not making a distinction between assignable space and 
end-user space is that it ignores the issue of determining appropriate 
utilization. The 80% and 25%/50% guidelines are that way because 
consumption of address space must be considered differently for 
assignable space vs end-user space. (Which is why I noted that 2003-10 was 
problematic in that it applied an issue related to end-user space to 
assignable space.)
