As i understood it, the device support returns 0 by purpose in order to enable 
bumpless reboot and what Pete wants is to override this behavior with a 
constant in DOL. As Bob said this is not possible at the moment. But i think 
it should be possible to change the ao record support so that if DOL is 
defined with some constant value then this value takes precedence over any 
value return from the device support's init_record for bumpless reboot.
