This is an attempt at improving fat_mirror_bhs in sync mode [namely it
writes all of the data for a backup block, and then blocks untill
finished]. The old behaviour would write & block in smaller chunks, so
this should be slightly faster. It also removes the fixme requesting
that it be fixed to behave this way :-)

So how much is performance improved?
