I think what Supra is suggesting is a pointer-to-implementation interface
which would allow ld.so to pass completely different arguments to the 
library depending on what kind of memory is being defined by the sh_info
value. It avoids needing to encode all the types in the API, and just
uses an incomplete pointer to the type.
