Not sure why do you need that extra intelligence :). File-system will
discover bad block on read and do automatic relocation, so why bother?

Well, you can write a generic disk driver that will do bad block discovery,
map maintenance and remapping on access, but I have reasons to believe you'd
be re-implementing parts of zfs.
