What do you mean with defragmenting? I think you mean joining freed
regions, which should be done at the time it is freed. I always
thought that was the case already.
For the other changes I will wait for the comments of Okuji, he wrote
the old code. But it always works on the PPC and x86, it sounds like
a 64 bits problem to me...
