Ok, so direct parameters of I/O instructions are handled by the
ultravisor?

Not sure I'm a fan of those wrappers... I think they actually hurt
readability of the code.

Don't you need to check for !NULL here as well?

Hm?

(You added a line like that in a previous patch; should it simply have
been a movement instead? Or am I misremembering?)
