I found this helper function rather odd looking at first.  In the
general case, it simply sets fields based on the parameters...but in
the n == 1 case, it goes and uses something else as the array.

On further inspection, this makes sense: normally, we have an array
of multiple placements in priority order.  That array is (essentially)
malloc'd.  But if there's only 1 item, having a malloc'd array of 1
thing is pretty silly.  We can just point at it directly.  Which means
the callers can kfree the array, and the object destructor should not.

Maybe a comment saying

   /* 
    * For the common case of one memory region, skip storing an
    * allocated array and just point at the region directly.
    */

would be helpful?
