What's wrong with the general idea to fetch the dump header > and to use that information? To address all of Dave's concerns with the submitted patch. It was simply a question of, if there is a simple workaround can we just use that instead to minimize the changes. I didn't mean to imply that accessing the arch specific dump header was bad idea, it's just that its arch specific and requires a rather large patch.
