This is sounding a bit voodoo-ish to me.

If this whole series is predicated on having its memory supplied via one
very specific ABI with very specific behavior.

That connection and the associated contract isn't spelled out very
clearly in this series.  I'm sure it works on your machine and is clear
to _you_ but I'm worried that nobody else is going to be able to figure
out the voodoo.

Could we make sure that this stuff is made very clear in the
Documentation and cover letter, please?
