Sure. But this doesn't mean that the types, inline functions, etc ... used
for native and PV kernels are the same (this is the difference between
API and ABI). I even think it'd be hard to have them the same, unless we
define them to be opaque pointers. But I guess this will add a mesureable
overhead to critical paths.
