This looks good to me. But thinking more about it, do we really need to
check what the content of the header is ? Why not simply replace this
entire hunk with:
return rp + sizeof(unsigned long) * 2;
to ignore the 16B (or 8B for 32-bits arch) header regardless of what the
header word values are ? Are there any case where the header is *not*
present ?

Regardless of the above nit, feel free to add:
