- * Convert an iovec element to the given type.

- * This is a fairly ugly trick: we need to know the size of the type and
- * alignment requirement to check the pointer is kosher. It's also nice to
- * have the name of the type in case we report failure.
- *
- * Typing those three things all the time is cumbersome and error prone, so we
- * have a macro which sets them all up and passes to the real function.
