I see why we needed to add the p2pdma_error variable now. I guess I
missed that. But can we maybe do both raid10 and raid1 the same even if
it means moving the `bio =` line up a bit? I think it would be better to
move the code more towards similarity with raid1 instead of diverging it
further. Maybe someday it can be cleaned up into more common code and
that will be easier if we make both changes the same.

Thanks,
