I'm not sure that I understood correctly, but if you are proposing to use malloc()/free() instead of mmap()/munmap() to allocate arenas in pymalloc, you have to know that we already different allocators depending on the platform:
https://docs.python.org/dev/c-api/memory.html#the-pymalloc-allocator

By the way, it is possible to modify the arena allocator at runtime:
