Commit Message

Currently pblk assumes that size of OOB metadata on drive is always
equal to size of pblk_sec_meta struct. This commit add helpers which will
allow to handle different sizes of OOB metadata on drive in the future.
Still, after this patch only OOB metadata equal to 16b is supported.

16B (or write bytes directly)

You can move this check to the beginning of pblk_init(), where we
already do a check on geo->version. No seed to start initializing things
if we already know that we will fail the instance creation.

You have this construction in several places. What about doing something
like the following, (mainly for readability purposes):

	struct pblk_sec_meta *meta_list;

	[...]

	meta_list = pblk_get_meta(pblk, rqd->meta_list, i);
	meta_list->lba = addr_empty;

Otherwise, you can add my review.
