Getting a general memory allocator working in kernel contexts is a hard task. You need to make sure it can't block and is re-enterable, that it doesn't result in fragmentation, and that it can be used from multiple threads. It can be solved (or worked around), but it's understandable that people don't _want_ to do that.
