Yes, these are both IOKit drivers. Both drivers are mine and I can
share headers. The KEXTs would be separate binaries. I assume it still
safe to pass pointers around in this case, but what is the "fastest"
way to do pass the pointers around?

What is the driver environment you are running in? I assume IOKit.
Are both drivers yours? Do you have a provider/client connection?
Can you
include headers between the two kexts? Do they live in the same
binary?
What is the memory going to be used for?
The message/messageClient code is mainly used to call a subroutine
in client
driver from a provider.
Finally within the kernel every thing lives in the same address
space so you
don't have to copy data you can just pass pointers.

Are the IOService message/messageClient calls the recommended way
to do
this? Do they involve memcpy?
