The capability APIs require that the appropriate capability call is made in the same
thread which requires the capability. If you can ensure that each thread which
requires capability makes the appropriate call, before it needs the capability, and
this call occurs at the same or a higher level on the call stack frame, then it will
work. I have not tried this with OCF - I am speaking generally.
