Shouldn't we have at least an option to allow tuning this value,
similar to the ag_stride? In fact I wonder why phase 3/4 should
use different values for it than phase2.

Please make this a
void *priv
to keep scan_sbtree generic.

Now that we have private data bassed to the scanfuncs we could use that
to communicate if we're doing a bno or cnt scan. Maybe writing it
directly into struct aghdr_cnts is too ugly, in that case we can have
a scan_priv structure that contains the magic and the aghdr_cnts.

This could become static.

That's not true any more I think.

Can be static.

I think this should use the workqueues from repair/threads.c. Just
create a workqueue with 32 threads, and then enqueue all the AGs.
