I moderized this a couple of years ago in the FreeBSD driver.  You are
correct that the logic needs to be changed to use an index instead of a
pointer.  Unfortunately, the firmware thinks that it has magic knowledge
of this being a pointer, so a little bit of extra work is involved.  You
might also want to consider implementing the fast reponse bit, which
abuses this field some more.  I'm happy to answer questions.
