Hmmm... Indexing the regions from `0` sounded inappropriate..

This is processed in fs/proc/vmcore.c during fs_initcall() and the data within the core
is processed much later (initrd). So, I think we are good here...

:) Will take care of such instances...
I think this should be added to checkpatch.pl

I don't know if I am missing a trick here or if there is a bug somewhere
but trying to access `opal_fdm_active->version` is not working for me..
