Is there any characterisation of the corrupted data; last time I looked at the
bz there wasn't.
I mean, is it reliably any of:
   a) What's the size of the corruption?
          block, cache line, word, bit???
   b) Position?
          e.g. last word in a block or something?
   c) Data?
          pile of zero's/ff's junk/etc?

   d) Is it a missed write, old data, or partially written block?
