/*
 * Utility for allocating and attaching a RAM dataspace
 *
 * The combination of RAM allocation and a local RM attachment is a frequent
 * use case. Each function may fail, which makes error handling inevitable.
 * This utility class encapsulates this functionality to handle both operations
 * as a transaction. When embedded as a member, this class also takes care
 * about freeing and detaching the dataspace at destruction time.
