Pointers can have provenance, integers don't, so transmuting pointers to integers creates "non-standard" values and it is unclear how well those can be supported (rust-lang/unsafe-code-guidelines#286).
So for this test let's take the safer option and use a pointer type instead. That also makes Miri happy. :)
