marko 42bd3289a3 branches/zip: os_mem_alloc_large(), os_mem_free_large():
On POSIX, use mmap() and munmap().  On Windows, use VirtualAlloc()
and VirtualFree().  Only on Netware, use ut_malloc_low() and ut_free().
The lower-level functions on POSIX and Windows allow InnoDB to return
memory to the operating system when the buffer pool is shrunk.
