Ah, you meant this duplicated one.

Let's use structure like fat_boot_sector (but more cpu friendly) on
stack or something, instead of modify bh (BPB). Modifying bh in bdev is
visible via /dev/foo, this is why I want to avoid to modify.

With this, we can share almost all codes on both of read_bpb() and
static_bpb(), and avoids to modify bdev buffer? And those 2 helpers only
has small chunk of code, and provide the required parameters?

Thanks.
