Oh crap - I’m such an idiot - yeah IOHDRSZ was what I meant to use in the first place. Although I am left wondering why IOHDRSZ is 24 - It does seem to be one extra byte, but I won’t begrudge lucho for going for an even number.
I’ll fix this up before re-releasing the patchset. I’m just finishing breaking up my write back fixes to make them a bit more consumable as a patch.
