## Memory layout
`GstMemory` manages a memory region. The accessible part of the managed region
is defined by an offset relative to the start of the region and a size. This
means that the managed region can be larger than what is visible to the user of
`GstMemory` API.
Schematically, `GstMemory` has a pointer to a memory region of _maxsize_. The
area starting from `offset` and `size` is accessible.
