As the first step towards eliminating the ref->next_phys member and saving
memory by using an _array_ of struct jffs2_raw_node_ref per eraseblock,
stop the write functions from allocating their own refs; have them just
_reserve_ the appropriate number instead. Then jffs2_link_node_ref() can
just fill them in.
Use a linked list of pre-allocated refs in the superblock, for now. Once
we switch to an array, it'll just be a case of extending that array.

The hwcontrol function enforced a step by step state machine
for any kind of hardware chip access. Let the hardware driver
know which control bits are set and inform it about a change
of the control lines. Let the hardware driver write out the
command and address bytes directly. This gives a peformance
advantage for address bus controlled chips and simplifies the
quirks in the hardware drivers.

The writev based write buffer implementation was far to complex as
in most use cases the write buffer had to be handled anyway.
Simplify the write buffer handling and use mtd->write instead.

We don't need the upper layers to deal with the physical offset. It's
_always_ c->nextblock->offset + c->sector_size - c->nextblock->free_size
so we might as well just let the actual write functions deal with that.

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.

In 2002, STMicro started producing NOR flashes with internal ECC protection
for small blocks (8 or 16 bytes). Support for those flashes was added by me.
In 2005, Intel Sibley flashes copied this strategy and Nico added support for
those. Merge the code for both.

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.

We'll be using a proper list of nodes in the jffs2_xattr_datum and
jffs2_xattr_ref structures, because the existing code to overwrite
them is just broken. Put it in the common part at the front of the
structure which is shared with the jffs2_inode_cache, so that the
jffs2_link_node_ref() function can do the right thing.

In a couple of places, we assume that what's at the end of the

Let's avoid the potential for forgetting to set ref->next_in_ino, by doing
it within jffs2_link_node_ref() instead.
This highlights the ugliness of what we're currently doing with

Well, almost. We'll actually keep a 'TEST_TOTLEN' macro set for now, and keep
doing some paranoia checks to make sure it's all working correctly. But if
TEST_TOTLEN is unset, the size of struct jffs2_raw_node_ref drops from 16
bytes to 12 on 32-bit machines. That's a saving of about half a megabyte of
memory on the OLPC prototype board, with 125K or so nodes in its 512MiB of
flash.

We can't use jffs2_scan_dirty_space() because it doesn't do any locking; it's

The incoming ref_totlen() calculation is going to rely on the existence
of nodes which cover all dirty space. We can't just tweak the accounting

If we had to allocate extra space for the summary node, we weren't
correctly freeing it when jffs2_sum_scan_sumnode() returned nonzero --
which is both the success and the failure case. Only when it returned
zero, which means fall through to the full scan, were we correctly freeing
the buffer.

We should preserve these when we come to garbage collect them, not let
them get erased. Use jffs2_garbage_collect_pristine() for this, and make
