Hi Ion,
Thank you for the info.

The use case would be to manage a memory pool allocated on a remote node. 

This would be used by a run-time library for distributed programming. It would 
allocate a memory region and manage this memory from another node, so that 
we can perform operations with that piece of memory (allocate portions, transfer 
data, etc.) without the intervention of the local node.

Regards,
 Jorge
