At present there are 4 configurations supported in  YAFFS2 for Linux:

yaffs:       YAFFS backward compatability mode with mtd
yaffsram:  YAFFS backward compatability mode with internal RAM simulator
yaffs2:       YAFFS2 mode with 2kpage mtd
yaffs2ram:  YAFFS2 mode with internal RAM simulator

The xxxram versions were really only temporary hacks that were there so that I 
could prove yaffs in-kernel without mtd.I also did a really rough mtd nand 
simulation to test out the mtd studd.

However, now that things have settled down and the mtd nandsim seems robust, I 
would like to suggest pulling out the xxxram variants and just use nandsim 
instead.

I would like to clean out dead stuff like this with an eye to cleaning up code 
for a kernel integration.
