Claim 4:
5. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one predefined functionality coded in the at least one byte-filling bit comprises one of:
a first value of the byte-filling bit indicates that the subset of the data bits is stored in an inverted manner and a second value of the byte-filling bit indicates that the subset of the data bits is stored in a non-inverted manner;
a first value of the byte-filling bit indicates that the subset of the data bits is invalid and a second value of the byte-filling bit indicates that the subset of the data bits is valid;
a first value of the byte-filling bit indicates that the subset of the data bits can be overwritten and a second value of the byte-filling bit indicates that the subset of the data bits cannot be overwritten;
a first value of the byte-filling bit indicates that the subset of the data bits cannot be read and a second value of the byte-filling bit indicates that the subset of the data bits can be read; or
a first value of the byte-filling bit indicates that the subset of the data bits is protected and a second value of the byte-filling bit indicates that the subset of the data bits is not protected.
