Because you tell me that handling the most common and important case
in read repair is just a performance issue, which you keep arguing for
micro-optimizing a corner case.  And not, for the case of failing a
large bio (which arguably can only happen for buffered I/O at the
moment, but that is another thing to look into) the bitmaps will only
help you for up to 64 sectors.  Way better than just doing a single
sector synchronous I/O but not exactly nice while still being a fair
amount of code compared to just doing variable sized synchronous
I/O.
