Convert the PS3 Video RAM Storage Driver from an MTD driver to a plain block
device driver.
The ps3vram driver exposes unused video RAM on the PS3 as a block device
suitable for storage or swap. Fast data transfer is achieved using a local
cache in system RAM and DMA transfers via the GPU.
The new driver is ca. 50% faster for reading, and ca. 10% for writing.

commit e480814f13 ("[MTD] [MAPS] physmap:
fix wrong free and del_mtd_{partition,device}") introduces a NULL pointer
dereference in physmap_flash_remove when called from the error path in
physmap_flash_probe (if map_probe failed).
Call del_mtd_{partition,device} only if info->cmtd was not NULL.

Commit 771999b65f ("[MTD] DataFlash: bugfix,
binary page sizes now handled") broke support for probing AT45DB321C flash
chips. These chips do not support the "page size" status bit, so if we
match the JEDEC id return early.

We really don't want the BIOS flash mapping hacks to get automatically
loaded.
No idea why it isn't using pci_register_driver() though -- that should
be fine... and is even _present_ but disabled by #if 0.

commit 176bf2e0f1 ("physmap: fix leak of
memory returned by parse_mtd_partitions") deals with a memory leak and
frees the pointer array of mtd_partition after the call to
add_mtd_partitions(). the problem is that mtd_table[x]->name still points
to the freed memory.
Aldo physmap_flash_remove() should call del_mtd_partitions() or
del_mtd_device() only once.

Introduce a new ioctl UBI_IOCSETPROP to set properties
on a volume. Also add the first property:
UBI_PROP_DIRECT_WRITE, this property is used to set the
ability to use direct writes in userspace

GregKH asked to fix UBI which has fake device release method. Indeed,
we have to free UBI device description object from the release method,
because otherwise we'll oops is someone opens a UBI device sysfs file,
then the device is removed, and he reads the file. With this fix, he
will get -ENODEV instead of an oops.

UBI ioctl's do not work when running 64-bit kernel and 32-bit
user-land. Fix this by adding the compat_ioctl method.
Also, UBI serializes all ioctls, so more than one ioctl at a time
is not a problem. Amd UBI does not seem to depend on anything else,
so use unlocked_ioctl instead of ioctl (no BKL needed).

Some ioctl's in UBI are enabled only when debugging is switched
on. There is not particular reason for this, just noone needed
them. However, some people need the now for their user-space
development. Thus, allow these ioctl's even if UBI debugging
is disabled.
