LGTM.

BTW, in igc_on_idle, arena_step is called repeatedly as long as
work_done is true.  Note that buffer_step sets work_done to true until
the buffer iterator is exhausted.  So arena_step is called for each
buffer.  That seems a bit excessive.

What would you think of making mps_arena_step and perhaps buffer_step
available from Lisp so that those things can be called from Lisp-level
idle timers?
