Use a common phrase for pointer parameters

Mention the type of the pointer in the parameter description. Use the
more general term "object" instead of "variable".

148 *

152 *   call is successful, the identifier of the created region will be stored in
153 *   this object.
154 *
155 * This directive creates a region which resides on the local node.  The region
156 * has the user-defined object name specified in ``name``.  The assigned object
157 * identifier is returned in ``id``.  This identifier is used to access the
158 * region with other region related directives.
159 *
160 * The region manages the **contiguous memory area** which starts at
161 * ``starting_address`` and is ``length`` bytes long.  The memory area shall be
162 * large enough to contain some internal region administration data.
163 *
164 * The **starting address** and **length of segments** allocated from the
165 * region will be an integral multiple of ``page_size``.  The specified page
166 * size will be aligned to an implementation-dependent minimum alignment if
167 * necessary.

169 * The **attribute set** specified in ``attribute_set`` is built through a
170 * *bitwise or* of the attribute constants described below.  Not all

178 * #RTEMS_FIFO and #RTEMS_PRIORITY attributes. The discipline defines the order
179 * in which tasks wait for allocatable segments on a currently empty region.

566 * of the region specified by ``id``.  When increasing the size of a segment,

583 * may want to allocate a new segment of the desired size, copy the contents of
