Yes, that is a valid comment, although I will say that I have seen some
developers/maintainers prefer 'unsigned long' over 'uintptr_t', so it is
really a crapshoot which one to pick :)

It is an odd pattern but as far as I understand it, the kernel uses it a
lot to pass platform specific data around (just grepping for
'.data = (void *)' shows a lot of instances.

Cheers,
Nathan
