The handle info u32 works as such:
The high byte is a remainder from the pointer to the next entry that originally occupied the handle table entry. It is unused. Byte 2 is either the class type token starting with firmware version 9.0 or the lowest byte of the char* that points to the class type name in firmware versions below 9.0. The lower halfword is the handle number of the current handle taken from the total handle count for the KProcess that owns the table.
On table creation, each entry in the handle data table is populated with a pointer to the next entry in the table. When a new handle is created, that pointer is moved into offset 0x8 of the KProcessHandleTable info struct to use for generation of the next handle.
The final handle that gets returned when a handle is created is (handle_index | (handle_total << 15)), basically they take the index into the handle data table and OR that with the total handle count << 15. This returned value is the one that gets passed back to the running application and is used to look up the HandleData entry in the table.
