I don't expect a lot of complain and it's easy to port the code.

My final commit includes an addition to What's New in Python 3.5 doc,
including a notice in the porting section. It is not enough?

Even if the API is public, the PyMemAllocator thing is low level. It's not
part of the stable ABI. Except failmalloc, I don't know any user. I don't
expect a lot of complain and it's easy to port the code.
