I think the direction makes sense. We should avoid having the dummy
implementation of the GDAT chunk in the interim if at all possible (and
it seems like it is). What Stolee is proposing is what I'd suggest, too.

Please let us know if you need any help restructuring these patches.
Please make sure to give them a careful review since it is easy to move
a hunk into the wrong commit, or let a detail in the patch text become
out-of-date. Looking over "git log -p origin/master..HEAD" and "git
rebase -x make -j8 DEVELOPER=1 test' origin/master" never hurts ;).
