Damn -- this "borrowed usage" of the savevm format for virsh dump is
really getting to be a pain in the ass...  

Looking at the qemu-kvm sources, it's not obvious to me what the size
of the the "slirp" device would be in the dumpfile.  And apparently
Red Hat kernels don't use that device or somebody else would have
bumped into it, but I'll check with Paolo Bonzini to verify the number.

Thanks,
