first of all, I wonder why this is so different than the kernel
implementation for BCH. I mean the API (and content) of this and commit
8d602cf50d3bba864bc1438f486b626df69c87b3 mainline linux seems to differ.
The main question coming to mind is: Is the resulting OOB layout
compatible then?

Best regards
