This will provide the basis for later per-sector repair for subpage, while still keeping the existing code happy. As if all csums match, the return value will be 0, same as now. Only when csum mismatches, the return value is different. The new return value will be a bitmap, for 4K sectorsize and 4K page size, it will be either 1, instead of the -EIO (which is not used directly by the callers, no effective change). But for 4K sectorsize and 64K page size, aka subpage case, since the bvec can contain multiple sectors, knowing which sectors are corrupted will allow us to submit repair only for corrupted sectors.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
