Do you have users for all these functions? I'm particularly sceptical of
pfree(). To my mind, a user wants to:

pmalloc_create();
pmalloc(); * N
pmalloc_protect();
...
pmalloc_destroy();

I don't mind the pstrdup, pcalloc, pmalloc_array, pzalloc variations, but
I don't know why you need is_pmalloc_object().
