That name makes no sense at all. This has nothing to do with alloc.

All of that is following the naming conventions in the FPU code related
to permissions etc.

Why? Yet another export of FPU internals just because?

Also what clears the reallocation request and what is the @enter_guest
argument supposed to help with?

I have no idea what you are trying to achieve.
