Foreign-Memory Access API

Hello,

  I am looking into JEP 370 and I noted this particular line:

   - Share memory across multiple processes, and

  I didn't see it listed in the goals - hence the curiosity -:  is it
really possible that I can get a non-heap memory area that can be used by
two different processes (maybe JVMs)? If yes, how would that be achieved -
through the API? Any considerations for security?
  I am thinking a basic scenario of a common memory cache but we can
imagine many more cases...

Thanks!
