No, unfortunately.  The structure looks like this:

typedef struct  /* Root System Descriptor Pointer */
{
    NATIVE_CHAR      Signature [8];     /* contains "RSD PTR " */
    UINT8            Checksum;          /* to make sum of struct == 0 */
    NATIVE_CHAR      OemId [6];         /* OEM identification */
    UINT8            Revision;          /* Must be 0 for 1.0, 2 for 2.0 */
...

So the row has to end with 00 or 02.  That address looks like data inside 
the KLD.
