Comment:

 This interface is still broken and needs to be addressed. The current
 default of `malloc` is not good long term. The BSPs that happen to work
 will need to change to map `malloc` to the default allocator for cache
 coherent memory. A BSP has to make the selection in all cases. The default
 is to return `NULL`.

 Moving to 7 where the change will be made.
