In general the code here looks good to me, but one thing to discuss due to
comment to the previous patch(es).

So, here and the below is using always the second u64 from the returned data.
Does it mean:
- we always skip the first u64 from the returned buffer and hence... (see below)
- we may actually return the second u64 as a plain number (not a pointer) from
  (an additional?) API? In such case we would not need to take care about this
  p++; lines here and there.
- we have fixed length of the data, returned by find_param(), i.e. 2 u64 words?
