Thanks for your input.
Due to a misconception of union casts (or accesses, really), multiple
points were rendered infeasible. I suppose the main point left I'd like
some attention towards is alignment, and of course the misdesigned
prototypes (CONST).

Thanks and regards,
Good day,
Thank you, Laszlo, for your ambition to introduce stricter code style
enforcements. Sorry to "hijack" the actual topic (I did not CC anyone on
purpose, as this is mostly a separate topic and I'd like a quick comment
first), but this seems like a good occasion to mention another few

Branch: voidptr
The UEFI / PI / Shell specifications define a number of standard types
as pointers to VOID. This is arguably a design mistake; those types
should have been pointers to distinct incomplete union or structure
types. Here's why:
