What is the plan for bad block marker migration?

We need to limit ourselves to the regions that have actually been
written to in the buffer.  fbcr needs to be set separately for first and
last subpages, with intermediate subpages having 0, 64, or 2112 as
appropriate.  Subpages that are entirely before column or entirely after
column + index should be skipped.

Please explicitly show the (FIR_OP_NOP << FIR_OP0_SHIFT) compenent.

Don't insert a blank line here.
