libpayload: Add comments on virtual pointers in lib_sysinfo
After another incident related to virtual pointers in lib_sysinfo (and
resulting confusion), I decided to put some comments on the matter into
the code.
Remember, we decided to always use virtual pointers in lib_sysinfo, but
it's not always obvious from the code, that they are.
