there is the following routine in the sd driver:
sd_reassign_blocks(unit, block)
I have not tested it fully, but if you add an ioctl to call it,
it should remap a bad block..
(I did that under the MACH version yesterday..
it crashed the syste (SCSI HANG) but on reboot, the bad block was gone (!?))

I haven't enough bad blocks to test it further :-(

p.s. you can call it from the kernel debugger..... 8-)
