// Note: It would be possible to transfer the address as an unsafe.Pointer to e.g. a byte, uint16 or integer variable.
// The unpack process here would be as follows:
// * convert the payload back to the pointer: addrPtr := (*byte)(payload)
// * call with the content converted to uintptr: r1, r2, errNo = unix.Syscall(trap, f.Fd(), signal, uintptr(*addrPtr))
// This has the main disadvantage, that if someone change the type of the address at caller side, the compiler will not
// detect this problem and this unpack procedure would cause unpredictable results.
// So the decision was taken to give the address here as a separate parameter, although it is not used in every call.
// Note also, that the size of the address variable at Kernel side is u16, therefore uint16 is used here.
