The function is a C function.  And yes it is a custom PMC which I have 
already created.

Dan pointed out the unmanagedstruct.pmc which but I fail to see how 
that would help me, I think we need an external API for stashing raw 
pointers.

(I don't know what PNI is, but I assume it is to execute bytecode from 
C and I do not want to do that).
