No. But if we need it, we can develop a proper one. For instance, I
think a properly flexible approach could involve some kind of bitmap,
where each bit represents a particular page (e.g., a 32-bit bitmap where
the first 16 bits represent the first 16 pages and the last 16 represent
the last 16 pages).

I think, though, that modern NAND are converging to only a few types of
bad block marker locations, and our currently available flags (without
SCANALLPAGES) are sufficient.
