There are various call paths that lead to __btrfs_map_block, via
btrfs_map_block (and btrfs_map_bio).

Lots of the retval checks are still marked with /* ENOMEM */ so it does
not seem that all the paths were verified to be safe wrt EIO. After a
quick skim I think that most of the callsites are doing proper error
handling (and some of them continue to BUG_ON(ret < 0)) namely after the
btrfs_map_bio handling that Stefan did. Remains to make sure that
btrfs_map_block are also ok, sofar I don't see major problems right now.

As you're extending the set of return values please remove all the
ENOMEM comments like

btrfs_map_bio():

5278         ret = __btrfs_map_block(root->fs_info, rw, logical, &map_length, &bbio,
5279                               mirror_num, &raid_map);
5280         if (ret) /* -ENOMEM */

so comments and code match.
