> Going forward, converting older JDK code to use the relatively new FFM API requires system calls that can provide `errno` and the likes to explicitly allocate a MemorySegment to capture potential error states. This can lead to negative performance implications if not designed carefully and also introduces unnecessary code complexity.
>
> Hence, this PR proposes to add a _JDK internal_ method handle adapter that can be used to handle system calls with `errno`, `GetLastError`, and `WSAGetLastError`.
>
> It currently relies on a thread-local cache of MemorySegments to allide allocations. If, in the future, a more efficient thread-associated allocation scheme becomes available, we could easily migrate to that one.
