We already did that in a few occasions. Let's consider this as an opaque handle
since those values belong to a different address space.

Since you are doing the initial effort and designing the interface, please move
this to the nucleus directly. If the first implementation only goes through the
POSIX skin, it will likely lower the incentive for other skins to use that
feature, since the amount of work to integrate it will be higher.
