Thanks a lot for this contribution!

In general the expected logic would be to keep the ECC engine disabled
and just enable/use it/disable in the page helpers.

Very nice diff overall. I'm fine with the first two patches, do you
mind if I merge 1 and 2 for now? We need to discuss further the subpage
issue.

As mentioned above, I would welcome a patch setting the HW ECC engine to
false by default and only enabling it in the page helpers (when using
the on-host ECC engine of course). This would be a good minor step,
with or without software ECC support.

Thanks,
Miquèl
