Sure, stack can be swapped out, but buffer passing is usually not a problem.
At least, I am not aware of cases.

In fact, many compat layers do exactly this, allocate the native-ABI
structure on the stack, copyin the foreighn-ABI structure in pieces
into the native-ABI one, and pass native to kern_foo() implementations.

So I think you worries are not realized.
