Please use {} for multi-line statements between the ifs

This logic is slightly confusing, so it could do with a comment
regarding which part of the structure is being dumped and why.

This doesn't work for revision 0 structures unless they happen to have
some trailing data, which is not necessarily the case, right?

Even though the spec is slightly silly here, I think we can avoid the
union, and just have

  u8 record_type;
  u8 revision;
  u8 reserved[6];

as the leading fields.
