[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.
