  This won't be good because if s_mirror_fe cannot be loaded as well, you'd
just try loading it on every block mapping which failed from the primary
metadata map. So you should have a flag somewhere whether in mdata, whether
you tried loading mirror_fe or not and use that.

  Also please create a helper function for loading metadata/mirror metadat
FE so that we don't have loading duplicated in three places... Thanks.
