I am not aware of any way before C11 to check if a variable is

typeof(*((hnd).p)) *_d = (hnd).p; \
size_t mul = (sizeof(*(hnd).p) > 1) ? 1 : sizeof (*_s); \

I don't particularly like it but I could not come up with better so far.
Having looked at how in particular copy_field_to_guest() (which
doesn't have this issue afaict) works, here's an imo much better
alternative:

I actually thought about this one but discarded it because it was using
unused variable. But I am happy with it, I will have a look to respin
the patch.
