I don't understand...you're putting pointers in the blob?  How can that
work?  You obviously can't reload things from the cache as actual
pointers, so you've got to be doing some kind of remapping from a
"pointer" in the blob to a real pointer.

At that point, can't you just make the blob always use a uint64_t for
pointers, and just pad with zeroes on 32-bit systems?  Then we could
use the same copy for both...
