Right, the page means all blocks. It doesn't scan all blocks at boot
time. only some block contains kernel part are read and boot.

The goal is simple, Avoid double scanning at boot time. One time for
bootloader, Another is kernel.
As you know at bootloader, only load kernel in normal case. it means
we only read the kernel bad blocks and handle it.
and jump to the kernel. that's all

Thank you,
