----------------------------------------+---------------------------------
Currently the two-step allocator is disabled on FreeBSD as the
`MEM_NORESERVE` macro is undefined. It seems that FreeBSD provided this
macro until 2014, when it was [[https://reviews.freebsd.org/D848|removed]]
as it wasn't implemented in the kernel. Regardless, Viktor Dukhovni
reports empirical evidence on `ghc-devs` that just plain `mmap` does what
we want.
