The aoe driver in linux-bcache/for-jens commit 4c36c973a8f45 is
passing my tests.

Here is a patch against that branch illustrating my suggestion for
handling bad target responses gracefully.

    aoe: bad AoE responses fail I/O without BUG
    
    Instead of having a BUG when the AoE target does something wrong,
    just fail the I/O and log the problem with rate limiting.
