I've not looked at the specifics case...

Another option is using a struct with a single member and
passing it by value.

Actually, we do already have correct structs which could be referenced:
parisc: struct Elf64_Fdesc
ia64:	struct fdesc
ppc64:	struct ppc64_opd_entry

One could "#define platform_opd_entry" to each of those depending on the platform and use it.
It might be misleading though, because the pointer which is handed over to
dereference_function_descriptor() can be such a pointer but isn't necessary.
I'll leave it up to Sergey to decide.

Hello,

I think I'll keep 'unsigned long' for now.
