We can very easily support both ways. In the first case, we should
also clearly comment the fact that the pointer passed to the kernel
is physical.

I'll eventually push some code in the upcoming 1 or 2 days that
does the kernel-side of getting passed pointer-based birecs. I
will eventually throw in a couple of new birec definitions as
well.
