Why "key" and "elem" here, but ...
+ void (*swap)(void *a, void *b, size_t size))
... "a" and "b" here? The first example of users of sort() that I'm
looking at right now (x86/extable.c) is consistent in its naming.
On the Arm side there are {cmp,swap}_memory_node() and
{cmp,swap}_mmio_handler(): "key"/"elem" are used for the comparison
and "_a"/"_b" for the swap.
