I am slightly nervous abot two things in the patch.

1) If the comment in the old version of the function that attempting to
   dump non-readable sections fails, it seems reasonable to keep the
   test for readable in there.

2) I'm concerned that the test for COW may lead to you dumping things
   you didn't want to. Specifically consider things like shared text
   segments which have had pages duplicated because a debugger has
   planted a breakpoint in there. Historical precedent is not to dump
   these, even though they may pass your test for COW.
