the inablility of pointers to stay valid between IPLs.

Huh? What are you talking about?

No system that I'm aware of can actually guarantee that a memory pointer will remain valid between restarts.

Actually, when it comes down to it, the System i *CAN* guarantee that a memory pointer will remain valid between restarts ... it's called a user space. The memory pointer may change (I don't know for sure), but you can get a pointer to a user space and it will always contain the correct data.
