We'll need the partition check. If you want to get fancy you could
also add the atomic boundary offset thing there as a partitions would

Yeah, that is my general philosophy about possible weird HW.
The right place is in the core infrastructure, the bdev patch is just
a user of the block infrastructure. bdev really are just another
