// available space. In non-overloaded heap, max_cset would contain all plausible candidates
// over garbage threshold.
//
// 2. We should not get cset too low so that free threshold would not be met right
// after the cycle. Otherwise we get back-to-back cycles for no reason if heap is
// too fragmented. In non-overloaded non-fragmented heap min_garbage would be around zero.
//
// Therefore, we start by sorting the regions by garbage. Then we unconditionally add the best candidates
// before we meet min_garbage. Then we add all candidates that fit with a garbage threshold before
// we hit max_cset. When max_cset is hit, we terminate the cset selection. Note that in this scheme,

// Rationale:
// The idea is that there is an average allocation rate and there are occasional abnormal bursts (or spikes) of
// allocations that exceed the average allocation rate. What do these spikes look like?
//
// 1. At certain phase changes, we may discard large amounts of data and replace it with large numbers of newly
// allocated objects. This "spike" looks more like a phase change. We were in steady state at M bytes/sec
// allocation rate and now we're in a "reinitialization phase" that looks like N bytes/sec. We need the "spike"
// accommodation to give us enough runway to recalibrate our "average allocation rate".
//
// 2. The typical workload changes. "Suddenly", our typical workload of N TPS increases to N+delta TPS. This means
// our average allocation rate needs to be adjusted. Once again, we need the "spike" accomodation to give us
// enough runway to recalibrate our "average allocation rate".
//
// 3. Though there is an "average" allocation rate, a given workload's demand for allocation may be very bursty. We
// allocate a bunch of LABs during the 5 ms that follow completion of a GC, then we perform no more allocations for
// the next 150 ms. It seems we want the "spike" to represent the maximum divergence from average within the
// period of time between consecutive evaluation of the should_start_gc() service. Here's the thinking:
//
// a) Between now and the next time I ask whether should_start_gc(), we might experience a spike representing
// the anticipated burst of allocations. If that would put us over budget, then we should start GC immediately.
// b) Between now and the anticipated depletion of allocation pool, there may be two or more bursts of allocations.
// If there are more than one of these bursts, we can "approximate" that these will be separated by spans of
// time with very little or no allocations so the "average" allocation rate should be a suitable approximation
// of how this will behave.
//
// For cases 1 and 2, we need to "quickly" recalibrate the average allocation rate whenever we detect a change
// in operation mode. We want some way to decide that the average rate has changed, while keeping average
// allocation rate computation independent.
