Thanks for looking into this - I like how we hide the memory details in
the helpers (system vs io).

And unifying the system and io variants makes the API simpler - also
good.

Yeah, I noted this in my feedback but realized only now that it is
written here.

I left a few comments (details only) in some of the patches, most are
reviewed without comments.

There is a few general things - mostly bikeshedding about naming and
such. As usual ignore what you think is irrelevant.
