[haiku-appserver] Shared Memory Allocation

Hi, guys! I have a question for you about something which up to this 
point hasn't really been an issue - how to send large objects from the 
client to the server. There is a fixed limit to the amount of data that 
can be sent over a port, and some of the classes we need to work with, 
like BShape and BRegion, have the possibility, however remote, that 
they would not fit.

I just changed our pool allocator from a bunch of C code (and ugly at 
that) to a class so we can have multiple pool managers in the same 
application without conflicts. We are going the same route as R5 and 
setting up a general application area. We will eventually be moving 
BBitmap storage to this shared area to prevent a bad app from 
overwriting BBitmap data in another app, but one question still 
remains: how should we send over a large object? Should we create a new 
area, dump it there, and tell the server to look there, or should the 
client ask the app_server for a memory chunk to write to, write to it, 
and then send the message? I'm kinda concerned about overhead and I 
wondered what the rest of you gentlemen thought.
