The best idea we came up with was to require the dump partition be
on boot device and pull the HPA from page zero. Matthew Wilcox was
mentioning that this problem will be solved in 2.5 kernel
since it will get an IO tree similar to HPUX's.

TBH, I'm personally not interested in chasing down solutions
for boxes that don't have PCI.
