[Click] dynamic memory allocation

[Beyers Cronje]

Nice one Alastair,

I have tested your patch yet but this features is quite useful for me.

Which brings me to my question, is there a way in Linux to determine the 
current available non-paged memory ? I've run into issues before where OOM 
errors resulted in undesirable crashes even with checking pointers after 
memory allocation. I'm thinking about an element early on in the 
configuration that checks for available memory and if a threshold has been 
reached will by-pass most of the configuration and only do necessary 
forwarding.
