    mtd: nand: expand nand_ecc_layout, deprecate ioctl ECCGETLAYOUT
    
    struct nand_ecclayout is too small for many new chips; OOB regions can be as
    large as 448 bytes and may increase more in the future. Thus, copying that
    struct to user-space with the ECCGETLAYOUT ioctl is not a good idea; the ioctl
    would have to be updated every time there's a change to the current largest
    size.
    
    Instead, the old nand_ecclayout is renamed to nand_ecclayout_user and a
    new struct nand_ecclayout is created that can accomodate larger sizes and
    expand without affecting the user-space. struct nand_ecclayout can still
    be used in board drivers without modification -- at least for now.
    
    A new function is provided to convert from the new to the old in order to
    allow the deprecated ioctl to continue to work with truncated data. Perhaps
    the ioctl, the conversion process, and the struct nand_ecclayout_user can be
    removed altogether in the future.
    
    Note: There are comments in nand/davinci_nand.c::nand_davinci_probe()
    regarding this issue; this driver (and maybe others) can be updated to
    account for extra space. All kernel drivers can use the expanded
    nand_ecclayout as a drop-in replacement and ignore its benefits.
