/* EEPROM emulation over flash with reduced wear
 *
 * We will use 2 contiguous groups of pages as main and alternate.
 * We want an structure that allows to read as fast as possible,
 * without the need of scanning the whole FLASH memory.
 *
 * FLASH bits default erased state is 1, and can be set to 0
 * on a per bit basis. To reset them to 1, a full page erase
 * is needed.
 *
 * Values are stored as differences that should be applied to a
 * completely erased EEPROM (filled with 0xFFs). We just encode
 * the starting address of the values to change, the length of
 * the block of new values, and the values themselves. All diffs
 * are accumulated into a RAM buffer, compacted into the least
 * amount of non overlapping diffs possible and sorted by starting
 * address before being saved into the next available page of FLASH
 * of the current group.
 * Once the current group is completely full, we compact it and save
 * it into the other group, then erase the current group and switch
 * to that new group and set it as current.
 *
 * The FLASH endurance is about 1/10 ... 1/100 of an EEPROM
 * endurance, but EEPROM endurance is specified per byte, not
 * per page. We can't emulate EE endurance with FLASH for all
 * bytes, but we can emulate endurance for a given percent of
 * bytes.
