Subject: [RFC PATCH 06/12] btrfs-progs: avoid writing super block to sequential zones

It is not possible to write a super block copy in sequential write required
zones as this prevents in-place updates required for super blocks.  This
patch limits super block possible locations to zones accepting random
writes. In particular, the zone containing the first block of the device or
partition being formatted must accept random writes.
