+ * Check the first page we try to write in a block.
+ * If the check passes then we don't need to check any
+ * more. If the check fails, we check again...
+ * If the block has been erased, we don't need to check.
+ *
+ * However, if the block has been prioritised for gc,
+ * then we think there might be something odd about
+ * this block and stop using it.
+ *
+ * Rationale: We should only ever see chunks that have
+ * not been erased if there was a partially written
+ * chunk due to power loss. This checking policy should
+ * catch that case with very few checks and thus save a
+ * lot of checks that are most likely not needed.
