The Data Offset field in the Dynamic Disk Header is an 8 byte field.
Although the specification (2006-10-11) gives an example of initializing
only the first 4 bytes, images generated by Microsoft on Windows initialize
all 8 bytes.

Failure to initialize all 8 bytes results in errors from utilities
like Citrix's vhd-util which checks specifically for the proper Data
Offset field initialization.
