Thanx Nick
I'll do what you suggest here. That should give people the fast stuff but
still not break people who are not yet up to date.
I will doc what I want to do in YAFFS2 (and why) including ECC placement etc
and ask for input.
Thanx again all...

The newest mtd in cvs seems ideally suited to yaffs and it would be a pity
to not use it. My only problem with the newest mtd api is that it isn't in a
mainstream arm kernel yet. 2.4.19-rmk4 doesn't use the latest read_ecc and
write_ecc api. Can someone (Thomas?) send a patch to Russell for him to
build into rmk5 or something? He was complaining a while back that people
don't feed him stable patches for him to include.
It could be a compile-time option for yaffs with a CONFIG_OLD_MTD_COMPAT
switch that would do it the slow reliable existing way.
