Yes ... I don't want to start defining such a command on linux-fsdevel.
What I'm hearing is that there's no benefit to a device that can guarantee
to write multiple contiguous sectors in a non-torn manner over a device
that can write a single sector in a non-torn manner.

For any real benefit, filesystems need (and Linux needs to introduce
plumbing for) vectored atomic writes.
