The problem is that the kernel lets you open the device. But a IO call like
read() just returns EIO. There is no possiblility in the syscall interface to
distinguish between read failed because of a broken sector or read failed
because device is offline.
As badblocks can considered to be a lowlevel tool, I will not fix this.
