The current mechanism for setting a dump device is to run down the list of geoms and call set_dumper at the bottom layer.

Would anyone object to making the caller of the GETTATTR for GEOM::kerneldump responsible for calling set_dumper (if desired)?

This gives systems some flexibility in changing or extending dump devices w/o having to play games witth doing save of the current dumper, calling the GETATTR, restoring the current dumper and so on.
