We may well want mkfs tools to use this to mark the whole device as
unwanted before they format it, for example.

The ioctl takes a pair of uint64_ts, which are start offset and length
in _bytes_. Although at the moment it might make sense for them both to
be in 512-byte sectors, I don't want to limit the ABI to that.
