Technically, nothing is preventing us from doing so; I'd be worried about
the overhead though when doing this for every malloc. mmap is probably less
of a problem.

At the moment, NMT events are send periodically; one could add a
threshold-based approach (whenever we reach +1M in any category), but that
would give you only sporadic call stacks.
