I tried deprecated bsddf/minixdf, and got a complaint from a user who
said they were using it.  Linus's rule is, "though shalt not break
backwards compatibility", so I have up on it.  Realistically, the
difference between these two is so small it's not really a big deal.

Dropping the old allocator is probably a good idea at this point.  I
very much doubt anyone is using it.
