I would have gotten a pointer to a user space and pass that to the API. That way you effectively have up to 16 Megabytes of storage available.

Note that you're passing in the receiving field by reference, and so the data should get written to that variable. You're telling the API by the value in the second parameter that the receiving field is big enough for that amount of data, and the API has no reason to suspect you of lying to it. Cheers!
