Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso f2ea394082 [PATCH] uml: safe migration path to the correct V3 COW format
- Correct the layout of all header versions - make all them well-specified
  for any external event.  As we don't have 1-byte or 2-byte wide fields, the
  32-bit layout (historical one) has no extra padding, so we can safely add
  __attribute__((packed)).

- Add detection and reading of the broken 64-bit COW format which has been
  around for a while - to allow safe migration to the correct 32-bit format.
  Safe detection is possible, thanks to some luck with the existing format,
  and it works in practice.
