+1 -- that's what got me thinking about keeping the headers in a different
page.  If all of the headers for a heap are in a separate VA region at the
front of the heap, you can allocate with a single pointer bump and
trivially calculate the corresponding header address.  It works for the
interior headers, too, without having to insert headers into the middle of
hardware structures.
