   1 pblk: Physical Block Device Target
   2 ==================================
   3
   4 pblk implements a fully associative, host-based FTL that exposes a traditional
   5 block 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.
