This was mainly done to accommodate Darrick's work on aio extensions. If
these errors were forever trapped inside the kernel I would agree with
you but the plan is to make this generally applicable.

My original device qualification code did this. I also had one that
included a field for the offending LBA but that appears to be lost in
the mist of time.

(Patch against a 2.6.3x era kernel so will need some massaging).

The thing that bugged me about this approach was the shared completion
mask for all clones. I felt that was a bit icky. However, it seemed like
a major hassle to have this be clone-private and have to register endio
handlers for each and every clone to get status bubbled up. That was
something that the switch to errnos handled much more elegantly.
However, if we want to have accurate offset reporting we will need to do
the completion struct thing.

Open to ideas. The many-clones-to-one-completion-status issue isn't
entirely trivial to tackle.
