OK, so in that case could we initially have:

	- region for control bits
	- region for the first data bits
	- region for the ecc for the first data
	- region for the second data bits
	- region for the ecc for the second data

or shall I just leave it as one big region for now?

Yes, that's probably best.  At least we're always building the whole 
driver then.

Good spot.

No, I don't think so.  The file_operations are all based on the regions 
rather than the device so I think it makes sense to have these as region 
based operations.  We could make them per device and pass the region as 
a parameter but I'm not sure that it gains us anything.
