/*
 This module implements a least recently used cache structure, which is
 used by the texture cache to manage the lifetime of items inside the
 texture cache. It has a few special pieces of functionality that the
 texture cache requires, but should be usable as a general LRU cache
 type if useful in other areas.

 The cache is implemented with two types of backing freelists. These allow
 random access to the underlying data, while being efficient in both
 memory access and allocation patterns.

 The "entries" freelist stores the elements being cached (for example, the
 CacheEntry structure for the texture cache). These elements are stored
 in arbitrary order, reusing empty slots in the freelist where possible.

 The "lru_index" freelists store the LRU tracking information. Although the
 tracking elements are stored in arbitrary order inside a freelist for
 efficiency, they use next/prev links to represent a doubly-linked list,
 kept sorted in order of recent use. The next link is also used to store
 the current freelist within the array when the element is not occupied.

 The LRU cache allows having multiple LRU "partitions". Every entry is tracked
 by exactly one partition at any time; all partitions refer to entries in the
 shared freelist. Entries can move between partitions, if replace_or_insert is
 called with a new partition index for an existing handle.
 The partitioning is used by the texture cache so that, for example, allocating
 more glyph entries does not cause eviction of image entries (which go into
 a different shared texture). If an existing handle's entry is reallocated with
 a new size, it might need to move from a shared texture to a standalone
 texture; in this case the handle will move to a different LRU partition.
