I see that the motivation for making DumpState static is for
dump_in_progress(). DumpState isn't massive, but it isn't tiny
either, so maybe we should just have a global pointer instead?
dump_in_progress() can report DUMP_STATUS_NONE when the pointer
is NULL, or whatever the status is, when it's not.
