I've been wondering about the intended use of this facilitator macro
for some time and concluded that it is plainly wrong. It should
take a pointer value from a buffer, but what is the use of a pointer
that pointed to something on the _target_ machine? It cannot be
meaningfully dereferenced on the host.
Okay, pointer arithmetics is done in one place, but IMO it is better
to explicitly state the object size there, because that's how things
are done elsewhere in the code, so it is less surprising for anybody
reading the code.
The irony is underlined by the fact that all three uses of the macro
need a subsequent typecast to ulong, which proves the whole concept
flawed.
