More importantly, most if not all UC3 devices won't be using Linux at all. It will either be a "bare metal" application (i.e. no OS), or typically some RTOS such as FreeRTOS, or perhaps some other commercial RTOS.

So the memory allocation functions need to be generic enough to handle this.

And of course you can go ahead and implement them as you see fit. You don't need to ask me in a private email.
