Yes they are. It is the single standard way to get the functionality you want.
Sorry, but 'standard' is the part that the kernel simply doesn't do. Just face it. The kernel isn't written with all those standards that are designed for entirely different things in mind.
I don't know why you think you can separate that. Take <stdarg.h> -- there is no other (portable, standard) way to implement receiving variadic arguments.
You clearly haven't actually read the thread.
That was my whole argument. For the _historical_ situation.
