You are correct in that assumption.

}  Any pointers to better solutions would be much appreciated.

Just don't try and do what you are trying to do.  When you send
to the driver what comes out the other side is what the emulator
felt was the sensible thing to do.  You are meant to deal with it
as a binary.  The iolist and iovec optimizations are lost.
