   Yeah, the (lack of) bounce buffers in the dump support is an oversight. I'm
not sure that there is a "clean" way to do this since higher level bounce
buffers really have no business being used when the system is writing out
a crash dump. I think in this case the driver dump routine should be modified
to work around the 16MB limitation (yuck).
