When operating on different kinds of heaps sometimes there's a need to
perform special operations on heap, poweroff memory bank when releasing
memory etc. Therefore some additional data may be required.
Metadata is a point to keep such data.

The shared multi-heap memory pool manager uses the multi-heap allocator
to manage a set of reserved memory regions with different capabilities /
attributes (cacheable, non-cacheable, etc...) defined in the DT.
The user can request allocation from the shared pool specifying the
capability / attribute of interest for the memory (cacheable /
non-cacheable memory, etc...)
