IIUC, g_renew may move the entire cpu_ases area. The internals of
memory_listener_register (called below) seem to put away the pointers to 
listeners
so a renew+move would leave invalid pointers to listeners in memory.c wouldn't 
it?

There are various ways of solving this, (e.g dynamic allocation of the listener,
static allocation of the cpu_ases, invalidate all listeners and restore them 
after
each as init and more). I'm sure you'll figure something out.
