Should I expect this to work on filesystem that works fine on 2.6.16.5
(in particular 2.6.16.5-tcl1 on a Balloon2)? I have no problem booting
this kernel on the board, but a 2.6.18-rc5 kernel with latest YAFFS CVS
and your patch gives the following errors:

yaffs: dev is 32505860 name is "mtdblock4"
yaffs: Attempting MTD mount on 31.4, "mtdblock4"
block 2 is bad
(lots more "block <n> is bad" messages up to 309)
yaffs tragedy: existing chunk < 0 in scan
(repeats)

It's possible the problem is NAND driver related, as that has obviously
changed between 2.6.16.5 and 2.6.18-rc5, but I was wondering if this is
expected to work before I go chasing down the wrong route.
