You effectively have to add infrastructure to add/remove shared memory segments to match memory requests. It is another step, but it is the same behavior.
That's of no use without a dynamic allocator, I think. Or else it is a vague description of a dynamic allocator.
I'm approaching the problem from another perspective: trying to implement a dynamic allocator on top of a fixed size memory pool, first. Once we have that, we may start to think about dynamically adding or removing underlying segments.
