/*
 * skip-list implementation
 *
 * Good news / bad news. As balanced binary tree schemes go,
 * this one seems pretty fast and is reasonably simple. There's a very
 * limited amount that can be done to mitigate sdram read latency.
 *
 * Each active clib_slist_elt_t is on from 1 to N lists. Each active element
 * is always on the "level-0" list. Since most elements are *only* on
 * level 0, we keep the level 0 (and level 1) in the element. For those
 * elements on more than two lists, we switch to a vector. Hence, the
 * "n" union in slib_slist_elt_t.
 *
 * The low-order bit of elt->n.next0[0] is 1 for inlined next indices,
 * 0 for vector indices (since the allocator always aligns to at least
 * a 4-byte boundary). We can only represent 2e9 items, but since the
 * practical performance limit is O(1e7), it doesn't matter.
 *
 * We create a "head" element which (by construction) is always
 * lexically lighter than any other element. This makes a large number
 * of irritating special cases go away.
 *
 * User code is in charge of comparing a supplied key with
 * the key component of a user pool element. The user tells this code
 * to add or delete (opaque key, 32-bit integer) pairs to the skip-list.
 *
 * The algorithm adds new elements to one or more lists.
 * For levels greater than zero, the probability of a new element landing on
 * a list is branching_factor**N. Branching_factor = 0.2 seems to work
 * OK, yielding about 50 compares per search at O(1e7) items.
