We had a report that a failing scsi disk was oopsing XFS when an xattr
read encountered a media error. This is because the media error returned
-ENODATA, which we map in xattr code to -ENOATTR and treat specially.
scsi_debug can be configured to return a MEDIUM error which if I follow
the discussion properly, would result in the block layer converting it
to ENODATA.
Yep that does work though very old scsi_debug modules can't control
which sector returns ENODATA. But for semi-modern scsi_debug it should
work quite well.

Thanks Carlos, Eric, that works well.
I should able to make it work without knowing the sector if I stat the
inode before enabling the error if we need support for older kernels.
I'll file off the rough edges and post it for review.
