If erasing or writing the BBT fails, we should mark the current BBT block
as bad and use the BBT descriptor to scan for the next available unused
block in the BBT. We should only return a failure if there isn't any space
left.

Hi Brian, I think this is another "Brien gook a glimpse" case :-) You
are our bad blocks expert nowadays, and if you could help reviewing this
patch, it would be cool.
