Hello All

I have just pushed the first cut of block summary code to 
http://yaffs.net/gitweb?p=yaffs2/.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/block-summary

The block summary feature writes all the tags in a block to the last chunk (or 
in some cases chunks) of a block.

Instead of reading all the tags during a scan, the summary is read as a single 
read and we have all the tags for the block. This can significantly reduce 
the number of reads during a scan and should make scanning a lot faster. In 
tests I've been doing this reduces the number of reads by a factor of 40 or 
so.

If anyone would like to experiment and provide feedback I would appreciate 
that.
