ch. 6.1, fig.10 looks like all the headers come after the initial SFDP
header. If that wasn't the case, how would you find the headers then?

Also ch. 6.3
"""All subsequent parameter headers need to be contiguous and may be
specified..."""

The tables itself, yes, but not the headers for the tables.

Yes, I was talking about the tables and not the headers. There might be
holes in the SFDP space but I don't think it would be a problem.

Ah, ok. Well basically I'm assuming that the holes will returning some
sane values. Or you could dump the space together with a mask. But that
is overkill ;)
