Queued for the next release.

By the way, did you notice this by code inspection, or did you actually
see a failure with a large vmcore?  And if you did see it, what kind of error
resulted?  It appears like it would just read a bogus page descriptor, and
that could result in a few different error types.  Also, I was under the
impression that the compressed diskdump/kdump page descriptors would be located
near the beginning of the vmcore, and for one to exist beyond 4GB would be 
highly
unusual?

Thanks,
