You should review the work that was done in previous years on this
topic. There have been a few efforts made toward it. Currently, the
most useful thing is to try defining a unified BSP framework for
initializing and updating any memory protection related hardware, e.g.
MPU/MMU. This is a pre-requisite to being able to define APIs that
could rely on memory protection in a reasonably portable way.
