Maybe I've mistaken how these are used. Having just looked at the source
again, I see that the saved_params field isn't exported.

Am I correct in assuming that this information will still be available in
/dev/ps3flash starting at offset 0x200? That's actually where I'm expecting
to find the information anyway. I believed your patch was changing that
behaviour, although I probably didn't study it enough.

Cheers,
    Ralf.
