But you can convert a buffer handle to the corresponding event handle
and enqueue the event. Thus buffers must have the metadata that allows
them to be enqueued and scheduled.

Wouldn't such buffers be more related to some type of malloc-like
memory manager?
ODP could use a multicore friendly memory manager for variable size
objects. Could such a memory manager be implemented by HW and thus be
considered as a part of the SoC abstraction layer? Or would it be a
pure SW construct and basically just a utility library?
