Comment (by catalyst):

 Another approach is making a special (static) free function that takes a
 pointer to `struct ifconf` and accesses `ifc->ifc_buf` directly.  We could
 add comments there explaining why it's necessary (which also avoids
 cluttering the main body of `get_interface_addresses_ioctl()`).
