Ideally this gets added with some user, so we can see it in action? 
Maybe squash the next patch here?

list_is_singular() already ensures that I guess?

Probably need to check the alignment of the actual_size, and also check 
that it is non-zero?

That should rather be a programmer error.

Check for overlaps somewhere here to avoid needless searching and splitting?

Could maybe record the start/end for better readability?

Should be impossible with overlaps check added.

That should always be true.

Would it make sense to factor out part of the alloc_range for this? It 
looks roughly the same.

Where do we add the block back to the original list? Did we not just 
leak it?
