No mtd user should ever check for the device type. Instead, device features
should be checked by the flags - if at all.
As a first step towards type removal, change MTD_ROM into MTD_GENERIC_TYPE.

The raw read/write access to NAND (without ECC) has been changed in the
NAND rework. Expose the new way - setting the file mode via ioctl - to
userspace. Also allow to read out the ecc statistics information so userspace
tools can see that bitflips happened and whether errors where correctable
or not. Also expose the number of bad blocks for the partition, so nandwrite
can check if the data fits into the parition before writing to it.

The nand_oobinfo structure is not fitting the newer error correction
demands anymore. Replace it by struct nand_ecclayout and fixup the users
all over the place. Keep the nand_oobinfo based ioctl for user space
compability reasons.

o Add a flag MTD_BIT_WRITEABLE for devices that allow single bits to be
cleared.
o Replace MTD_PROGRAM_REGIONS with a cleared MTD_BIT_WRITEABLE flag for
STMicro and Intel Sibley flashes with internal ECC. Those flashes
disallow clearing of single bits, unlike regular NOR flashes, so the
new flag models their behaviour better.
o Remove MTD_ECC. After the STMicro/Sibley merge, this flag is only set
and never checked.

At least two flashes exists that have the concept of a minimum write unit,
similar to NAND pages, but no other NAND characteristics. Therefore, rename
the minimum write unit to "writesize" for all flashes, including NAND.

Two flags exist to decide whether a device is writeable or not. None of
those two flags is checked for independently, so they are clearly redundant,
if not an invitation to bugs. This patch removed both of them, replacing
them with a single new flag.

Currently, unifdef removes the comment which starts on the same line as
the #ifdef __KERNEL__, but leaves the second line of the comment in place.
Move the comment onto a separate line.

Three types are never set or checked for. Remove.

Several flags are set by some devices, but never checked. Remove them.

This updates the Primary Vendor-Specific Extended Query parsing to
version 1.4 in order to get the information about the Configurable
Programming Mode regions implemented in the Sibley flash, as well as
selecting the appropriate write command code.
This flash does not behave like traditional NOR flash when writing data.
While mtdblock should just work, further changes are needed for JFFS2 use.

For Dataflash, can_mark_obsolete = false and the NAND write buffering
code (wbuf.c) is used.
Since the DataFlash chip will automatically erase pages when writing,
the cleanmarkers are not needed - so cleanmarker_oob = false and
cleanmarker_size = 0
DataFlash page-sizes are not a power of two (they're multiples of 528
bytes). The SECTOR_ADDR macro (added in the previous core patch) is
replaced with a (slower) div/mod version if CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_DATAFLASH is
selected.

This is implemented using a ioctl to switch the MTD char device into
one of the different OTP "modes", at which point read/write/seek can
operate on the selected OTP area. Also some extra ioctls to query
for size and lock protection segments or groups. Some example user
space utilities are provided.

This enables support for reading, writing and locking so called
"Protection Registers" present on some flash chips.
A subset of them are pre-programmed at the factory with a
unique set of values. The rest is user-programmable.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
