Not at the moment.

Could expand more on why you feel the need for this?  Is this
something you want just for experimentation or would you want to use
it in production?  How do you know which blocks you want to pin?  If
the pinned blocks are in large regions do you actually just want to
build a device that is composed of linear mappings to a mixture of
spindle and ssd devices?
