Fix the configuration of the RomFS to make sure that at least one
backing store method is always selected. This is done by rendering it
down to a choice item that selects between Block, MTD and both.
This also works correctly in the case that CONFIG_MTD=m: MTD cannot be
selected as a backing store unless CONFIG_ROMFS_FS is also 'm'.

Change RomFS so that it can use MTD devices directly - without the intercession
of the block layer - as well as using block devices.
This permits RomFS:
(1) to use the MTD direct mapping facility available under NOMMU conditions if
the underlying device is directly accessible by the CPU (including XIP);
(2) and thus to be used when the block layer is disabled.
RomFS can be configured with support just for MTD devices, just for Block
devices or for both. If RomFS is configured for both, then it will treat
mtdblock device files as MTD backing stores, not block layer backing stores.
I tested this using a CONFIG_MMU=n CONFIG_BLOCK=n kernel running on my FRV
board with a RomFS image installed on the mtdram test device. I see my test
program being run XIP:
# cat /proc/maps
...
c0c000b0-c0c01f8c r-xs 00000000 1f:00 144 /mnt/doshm
...
GDB on the kernel can be used to show that these addresses are within the
set-aside RAM space.

Add support for direct mapping through mtdconcat, if possible, by attaching the
samebacking_dev_info structure to the master.
It has some restrictions:
(1) It won't permit direct mapping of concatenated devices that have differing
BDIs.
(2) It doesn't support maps that span the 'gap' between devices, although it
possibly could if the devices spanned across return compatible
(ie. contiguous) addresses from their get_unmapped_area() ops.

OneNAND write-while-program method of writing improves performance,
compared with ordinary writes, by transferring data to OneNAND's
RAM buffers atthe same time as programming the NAND core.
When writing several NAND pages at a time, an improvement of
12% to 25% is seen.

This patch make cmdlinepart and ar7 also return allocated array, so
that all users can free it regardless of parser type.

MTD's have both an index number and a name. Formerly,
the MTD selected for mtdoops was done only by index
number. With this patch, a name can be used instead.
For example, the kernel command line:
console=ttyMTD5
selects MTD 5 for mtdoops. But now this is also possible:
console=ttyMTD,log
which selects the MTD named "log" for mtdoops.
This has the advantage that partitions can be added or
removed that would affect the MTD index number but not the
name, without having to then change the kernel command line.

Move mtd_has_partitions() and mtd_has_cmdlinepart() inlines from a
DaVinci-specific driver to the <linux/mtd/partitions.h> header.
Use those to eliminate #ifdefs in two drivers which had their own
definitions of mtd_has_partitions().
Quite a lot of other MTD drivers could benefit from using use one or both
of these to remove #ifdeffery. Maybe some Janitors would like to help.

Fix incorrect debug messages (*write* not read); someone committed some
cut'n'paste bugs. There might be more, I only noticed these since I was
looking for nand_read usage and landed in some very wrong functions.
IMO all MTD debugging message framework is goofed, anyway. It uses
"DEBUG" in a way that's incompatible with usage most everywhere else in
the kernel, and which prevents normal pr_dbg() and dev_dbg() calls from
working right.
[True. It predates those by a long way, and should probably be updated
to use them. dwmw2]
