The answer is in xnmalloc definition:
#define xnmalloc(size) xnheap_alloc(&cobalt_heap, size)

The memory has been reserved prior to calling these functions, and
an "xnheap" object initialized with the xnheap_init call.

cobalt_heap is the "global heap" object. You can use memory from
this heap object with xnmalloc, or use memory from another heap
object (initialized with xnheap_init) with xnheap_alloc.

Any memory obtained with Linux memory allocation function is shared
between Xenomai and Linux. The xnheap objects are just a way to
pre-allocate some memory and allow a kind of dynamic allocation for
real-time services without resorting to Linux services. But the
memory you pass to an xnheap object (and in particular the
cobalt_heap object memory) is generally some Linux memory that has
been allocated in advance.
