Agreed. I don't like it either. My first thought was to add a wrapper
for the malloc and my second was that I don't want to get sidetracked
right now. I'll get sidetracked for the newbus issues (the bus-specific 
interrupt handlers and adding a mechanism for time-multiplexing) that
I still need to work out. I'll probably deal with the resource stuff
then. If I can defer the newbus issues, I'll fix the resource stuff
before I commit.
