Whenever you have a multi-region garbage collector, you have to worry about
cross-region circularities. Generally, you have to simultaneously collect
all regions that participate in a circularity in order to recover it. My
first impression, is that you will have such issues with your proposal.
What you describe sounds very similar to various distributed GC
schemes. You are just applying them locally. There is considerable
published literature on distributed GC.
