Why change the ECC layout?

Be very careful when you change ECC layouts. This can break production 
systems.

For example if people are running something earlier and then want to deliver a 
new kernel with 2.6.37 then their existing NAND file systems will no longer 
be readable.

Changes to ECC should only be done for very good reasons and should be 
controlled with a Kconfig with the default being the existing ECC layout.
