Peter Relson doles out anchor table slots on request (one per
vendor). The implied purpose of the customer anchor table is to
allow each vendor to have a global skyhook. It basically
amounts to a CVT for your own products.
You build your own "stuff" in a block of common storage
(typically ECSA or ESQA) and place its address in your
designated slot. Once its there you can access your own stuff
from any address space by a sequence of 4 loads. That has the
advantages of being blindingly fast and about as complicated as
a bowling ball.
There is no serialization protocol that I am aware of and
(based on personal experience) only a handful of vendors
actually exploit it anyway. I can't imagine NOT using it.
