I'm in favor of dropping them. I would be willing to do the cleanup for
that and submit a patch.

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.
