Dang, turns out that the need already exists. I just found that the
eeprom driver masks *2* areas of the Sony VAIO EEPROMs. I should know
because I'm the one who made that change but that was 13 years ago and
my memory doesn't go that far back.

I'll think of a way to support that. Still not a big fan of
daisy-chained resource structs though. Maybe a generic post-processing
callback function would do... I'll give that a try.
