That's perfectly legit. Eg. old VBTs are always missing a lot
of the eDP related blocks.

What we could do is add some kind of dummy block into the list
for every block we've initialized, whether we found it or not.
With that we could complain if find_section() gets called on
anything that we didn't try to duplicate.

Yeah, I was pondering about defining a structure that actually includes
the BDB block header and try to replace all the magic +/-3 stuff with
that. But didn't feel like bloating this series any further right now.
