You have this "token" payload as driver specific data, but there's no
check that bdev1 and bdev2 subscribe to the same driver specific format.

I thought we discussed defining something like a "copy domain" that
establishes which block devices can offload copy operations to/from each
other, and that should be checked before proceeding with the copy
operation.
