The memory area containing all the objects must be physically contiguous. Introducing MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_PHYS_CONTIG flag for such use-case.
The flag useful to detect whether pool area has sufficient space to fit all objects. If not then return -ENOSPC. This way, we make sure that all object within a pool is contiguous.
