Memory limits the number of 'objects'.

What do you mean by a memory pool? There is malloc, cyg_mempool_var_*
and cyg_mempool_fix_*. The documentation for these last too sets seems
to of disappeared. It used to be part of the kernel documentation,
since these functions were part of the kernel code. But things got
rearranged. Here is a reference to the old documentation:
