Hi Ido

It is a while ago, but i thought there was something odd about the
order of the pages, or the number of the pages? And there was no clear
indication from the kernel about QSPF page format vs QSPF-DD page
format?

So Adrian's patch is probably a good starting point, but i think it
needs further work.
