Ok, so I had another look at the Buffer Management final design. I now
see that the option of creating buffer pools from regions has been
removed, so in this case things will be simpler for the applications.
In other words we should really start working on the full
implementation of the API because from there the problem I just stated
above (having to create shared memory segments) will disappear.
