As such, it is not feasible to call an Impulse C process as a remote procedure...
What is a 'remote procedure' in terms of ANSI-C? Does it mean function pointers (call-by-reference)?

In p 129 about 'No Support for Hardware Function Calls', the book stated:
What is a 'remote procedure' in terms of ANSI-C? Does it mean function pointers (call-by-reference)?

I don't have the book in front of me, but I do know that it's a bit out-of-date with respect to hardware function calls. In recent versions of Impulse C, you can call C functions from hardware processes if they have a compatible C or HDL implementation.
What you still can't do is call a hardware process like a function from a software process. That may be what is meant by "remote" procedure call.
