//! Metadata management of frames.
//!
//! You can picture a globally shared, static, gigantic array of metadata
//! initialized for each frame.
//! Each entry in this array holds the metadata for a single frame.
//! There would be a dedicated small
//! "heap" space in each slot for dynamic metadata. You can store anything as
//! the metadata of a frame as long as it's [`Sync`].
//!
//! # Implementation
//!
//! The slots are placed in the metadata pages mapped to a certain virtual
//! address in the kernel space. So finding the metadata of a frame often
//! comes with no costs since the translation is a simple arithmetic operation.
