/*
* \brief Interface for process-local capability-selector allocation
* \author Norman Feske
* \author Stefan Kalkowski
* \date 2010-01-19
*
* This interface is Fiasco-specific and not part of the Genode API. It should
* only be used internally by the framework or by Fiasco-specific code. The
* implementation of the interface is part of the environment library.
*
* This implementation is borrowed by the nova-platform equivalent.
* (TODO: merge it)
