That NPN_MemAlloc comment in NP_jsobject.cpp is long-obsolete. That comment was
written back when this code was in JavaScriptCore and NPN_MemAlloc was in
WebKit. But now both the code and the NPN_MemAlloc function are in WebCore. So
that issues is not an obstacle to using fastMalloc and fastFree here.

On the other hand, there might be a risk with plug-in compatibility, if
plug-ins themselves accidentally mix malloc/free with NPN_MemAlloc and
NPN_MemFree.
