What I intend to do is quite minimally-invasive and leaves the logic in the individual drivers that consume it essentially intact (a flag-in-the-disklabel check will be replaced by a pointer-in-the-softc check for “maybe we have to re-map a sector”).

Good work!  This means it would be quite simple to add bad144 to the vax 
drives missing it as well :-)

Just for curiosity; why did the Sun SMD drives use bad144?  Was it
