Ugh, is that a bug in the code below?  How are byval pointers supposed
to be handled here?  Exactly as if the argument wasn't a pointer at all
by providing a copy of the pointed-to object as-is in the kernel input
buffer?  In that case wouldn't the code below need to pass the correct
size of the pointed-to object as target/api size rather than the size of
the pointer?
