Using the device link interface would allow us to send memory allocations for tracing purposes to the host machine, when profiling mode is enabled.
The sent information would include a timestamp, location and size of the allocation.
This makes it possible to ....
1. ... track heap usage over time, not just the peak
2. ... check the allocation patterns (big/small/frequent/infrequent)
3. ... check how long allocations are present and where
4. ... create a map of allocations to check if we get fragmentation that makes some memory fragments unusable.
