Agreed. I have seen this happening couple of times, but have been too
lazy to fix it.

Thanks, applied. prism2_download_nonvolatile() would have been a
somewhat better example. There are some cases where goto's are quite
useful in C, but I did not really understand what I have been thinking
with that extra out2 label ;-). Anyway, I removed that from both the
volatile and genesis downloads to make the function somewhat nicer to
look at.
