[PATCH v6 2/3] kho: add KHOSER_COPY_PTR to allow phys copy of serialized ptr

From: Tarun Sahu

Date: Sat Jun 27 2026 - 20:11:26 EST


Adding KHOSER_COPY_PTR to copy one serializeable pointer to
another. It basically allows copy of phys val of the
serializeable pointer.

It ignores the typecheck if any of the argument is of void *
