Not actually a problem because this is the best we can do with the APIs we're given, but -

Funny how many of these functions say the same sort of thing.

So I just wanted to say that in general, if you want to move to more "safe" functions that are still in theory thread-unsafe, I'm ok with that.

For instance if there is one API that returns a pointer to some mysterious kernel struct, and another that let's you provide a buffer you control the lifetime of - let's use the latter. Even if both are unsafe in other ways.

For this PR, @Nerixyz can be the approver.
