A simpler approach would be to just concatenate the dump to temacs, then add a special header with a signature and a dump length. On startup, Emacs could open itself, seek to the end of the file, look for the signature, and if it's present, back up to the start of the dump and proceed exactly as pdumper does now. This way, there's no overwriting stuff in the middle of the file and we don't waste disk space on a big data section we'll only partially use.
