We can make this to support for 512 byte ecc calculation and correction also.
It can be helpful, particularly in cases where hardware ecc option is present and is using 512 byte ecc, to make software ecc and hardware ecc compatible. So that switching could be possible at run time i.e. both can be used by switching at load time.

I have prepared a patch on top of your latest patch.
Please review it and provide your comments on this.
