Is this just for testing something or does a user/app need this
functionality for something?
We used to be able to block specific devices but we removed that.
It was useful for people like us where we need to do some low kernel
testing like testing for how upper layers handle IO hangs, but I
think it was not useful for other users so it was removed.
