Description

Now that #memory region is supported, we should allow changing the permissions on them. Apparently not all adapters would support them, but it is a nice addition for those do. Also -- page permissions are usually managed at page level, so we might need to decide if we want to support manipulating page permissions as well

Research direction

Start by reviewing the memory region support referenced in issue #96 and how adapters represent memory permissions. Determine which adapters can change RWX permissions and whether the feature should operate on regions, pages, or both. Done means the supported scope and adapter limitations are defined and permission changes work where supported.
