If you have this branch here, that indicates that blk_notifications
might be sparse - but at the same time, blk_notifications is not
defined in a way that explicitly ensures that it has as many elements
as blk_errors. It might make sense to add an explicit length to the
definition of blk_notifications - something like "static const enum
block_notification_type blk_notifications[ARRAY_SIZE(blk_errors)]"
maybe?
