Currently, I'm working on the partial dump command so that it will work
on SPARSEMEM kernels.  Maybe I could work on it after that.

I don't think that this new design is necessary at once. Because
RHEL5-kernel will not have a symbol node_data. I made linux-2.6.18-rc2
of RHEL5-config(from Linda Wang) on i386, x86_64, and ia64 system.
As a result, these kernels didn't have a symbol node_data.
