Except those are kernel-only. The code in question at the moment is
entirely in userland (the kernel is doing nothing but mmap() support,
until I understand things enough to do more there), and much of it will
remain there for all expected further work....

Not quite, but experience indicates that they can all be accessed as if
they were. (Well, except for fields which are array-of-32bit, but
that's a quibble.)
