    To feel anything like the original the new getblk has to be idempotent:
    subsequent calls return the same block.

    Another issue: we need to be able to find the appropriate mapping for the
    getblk. That means either looking it up in yet another [major][minor] vector
    or changing the type of the argument to getblk, which is not as painful as it
    sounds because it isn't used in very many places any more.
