Extension of protected memory to dynamic allocations.
Allocations are performed from "pools".
A pool is a list of virtual memory areas, in various state of
protection.
Supported cases
===============
Read Only Pool
--------------
Memory is allocated from the pool, in writable state.
Then it gets written and the content of the pool is write protected and
it cannot be altered anymore. It is only possible to destroy the pool.
Auto Read Only Pool
-------------------
Same as the plain read only, but every time a memory area is full and
phased out, it is automatically marked as read only.
Write Rare Pool
---------------
Memory is allocated from the pool, in writable state.
Then it gets written and the content of the pool is write protected and
it can be altered only by invoking special write rare functions.
Auto Write Rare Pool
--------------------
Same as the plain write rare, but every time a memory area is full and
phased out, it is automatically marked as write rare.
Start Write Rare Pool
---------------------
The memory handed out is already in write rare mode and the only way to
alter it is to use write rare functions.
When a pool is destroyed, all the memory that was obtained from it is
automatically freed. This is the only way to release protected memory.
