1pblk: Physical Block Device Target
2==================================
3
4pblk implements a fully associative, host-based FTL that exposes a traditional
5block I/O interface. Its primary responsibilities are:
6
7  - Map logical addresses onto physical addresses (4KB granularity) in a
8    logical-to-physical (L2P) table.
9  - Maintain the integrity and consistency of the L2P table as well as its
10    recovery from normal tear down and power outage.
11  - Deal with controller- and media-specific constrains.
12  - Handle I/O errors.
13  - Implement garbage collection.
14  - Maintain consistency across the I/O stack during synchronization points.
