First, if we want to read 4K data with once command issuing, we can't 
use HW_ECC.
Even if we use SW_ECC, we always get lots of weird '0xFF's between 1st 
2k and 2nd 2k data.
They will cover the data in the head of 2nd 2K.
  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| xxxxxx ... 1st 2k xxxxxxx ... | ff ff ff ... ff xxxxxx 2nd 2k xxxxxxx |
  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is worse to write 4k data with once command issuing. It can't write 
the 2nd data correctly.
