  Modified files:
    sys/ia64/ia64        dump_machdep.c 
  Log:
  Check that the dump device is large enough. Otherwise we could
  end up with a dump offset that's smaller than the start of the
  dump device and either clobber data in preceding partitions or
  try to write beyond the end of the medium (unsigned wrap).
  
  Implement legacy behaviour to never write to the first 64KB as
  that is where metadata (ie disklabels) may reside.
