I'm wondering if a more robust check is needed than the valid flag, like
a checksum or something. I didn't debug it yet but I ended up with an
invalid set of metadata after a panic reboot, see below. I'm not sure if
it's just a logic bug or something got lost during the reboot, I didn't
debug it yet. But I suppose unless you assume the panic didn't affect
writing the metadata, then it could be partially written and shouldn't
be trusted?

The values I got here are 0x781b67182aa346f9 0x8000000 0x8000000 for
offset, size and len respectively. This fails the first check. It would
also be nice to have a dev_dbg here as well, it's basically the same as
the valid check above which does have one.
