* Local interceptor of parent requests
*
* On Linux, we need to intercept calls to the parent interface to implement
* the RM service locally. This particular service is used for creating managed
* dataspaces, which allow the reservation of parts of the local address space
* from being automatically managed by the 'env()->rm_session()'.
*
* All requests that do not refer to the RM service are passed through the real
* parent interface.
