Would it be possible to make this a typed pointer instead? If this needs to
be extended later to pass a different structure, a new system call may
be better for consistency than overloading the argument in various
ways.

As before, I'd suggest making this structure compatible between 32-bit
and 64-bit architectectures, by avoiding pointer and implied padding
fields.
