 * caller's design:
 * 1) Older APIs do not rely on deserializer allocating memory for @params,
 *    thus calling the deserializer twice, once to find out the actual number of
 *    parameters for @params to hold, followed by an allocation of @params and
 *    a second call to the deserializer to actually retrieve the data.
 * 2) Newer APIs rely completely on the deserializer to allocate the right
 *    amount of memory for @params to hold all the data obtained in
 *    @remote_params.
 *
 * If used with model 1, two checks are performed, first one comparing the user
 * specified limit to the actual size of remote data and the second one
 * verifying the user allocated amount of memory is indeed capable of holding
 * remote data @remote_params.
 * With model 2, only the first check against @limit is performed.
 *
 * Returns 0 on success or -1 in case of an error.
