Commit Message

Add a tiny per-engine request mempool so that we should always have a
request available for powermanagement allocations from tricky
contexts. This reserve is expected to be only used for kernel
contexts when barriers must be emitted [almost] without fail.

This is an alternative to using a comparatively bulky mempool, which
requires custom handling for both our reserved allocation requirement
and to protect our TYPESAFE_BY_RCU slab cache.
